Have had an excellent experience with Dr Kooner since being referred over to deal with some liver issues. He is very knowledgable, while making complex concepts easy to understand, and has dealt with a couple of sensitive topics with empathy and professionalism. Treatment has been fast and I haven’t had any issues when liaising with his team. Would recommend!

Very organised and professional service, I don’t live in the UK (Channel Islands resident) so flying in and having immediate access over 2 days to 4 tests at the digestive centre saved me multiple trips back and forwards.
