Dr Bloom is the best Gastroenterologist I have come across and I have seen a few prior to his visits- of which some are also “highly rated”. He is supportive, optimistic and has the right balance of empathy towards patients whilst maintaining professionalism. He always has a solution to my issues and ensured some plan was followed through whether it was a big or small problem. He explains everything thoroughly, which some doctors forget to do as they use a lot of medical terminology and send you plethora of information. Dr Bloom, however, would discuss every intricate detail. Lastly- as a young female, I felt completely comfortable with him so if there are any females in a similar situation finding it difficult to find a trustworthy consultant, then I highly recommend Dr Bloom. His assistant is highly professional. Many thanks for all your help Dr Bloom – Miss M.S.

What a wonderful Professor. I honestly would recommend him in a heartbeat. He has a bedside manner you rarely find these days and is much missed. The whole gastroscopy and colonoscopy was a pleasure and believe me if you saw me beforehand you would never think I would say this. Prof Bloom and his team are caring and professional
