About Dr Shameer Mehta
Dr. Shameer Mehta is a highly skilled and experienced Gastroenterologist. He is one of only a few consultants who has been appointed to two London teaching hospitals: University College London Hospital and, currently, The Royal London Hospital (Bart's Health NHS Trust) where he is the Clinical Lead for Nutrition. His private practice is based at The London Digestive Centre and The Princess Grace Hospital, as well as Cleveland Clinic London where is also the Clinical Lead for Nutrition.
He maintains a strong interest in research and education, both nationally and internationally and is an Honorary Associate Professor at University College London. He is also a passionate advocate for shared decision making between patient and physician and believes a healthy gut is vital for overall well-being.
He began his medical training at Guy's and St Thomas's Hospitals, before starting his Higher Specialist Training in North East London in gastroenterology. Following this, he then went on to complete a fellowship at Queen Mary's and the Blizard Institute in medical education and basic science research. He was designated a fellow of the Higher Education Academy in recognition of his work. His research degree (MD) in basic science examined the role that microRNAs have in the control of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition and the development of intestinal fibrosis in Crohn's disease.
Dr Mehta's main role is as the Lead for the Intestinal Failure Service at The Royal London Hospital, one of the largest such services in the UK. He works in a multi-disciplinary fashion providing a comprehensive treatment plan to patients with complex nutritional care and intestinal failure. He also works with patients experiencing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel disease and those with gastrointestinal disorders as a consequence of their cancer treatment. He currently holds the position of clinical lead for the trust's Nutrition and Hydration Strategy Group, which attempts to improve nutritional provisions for patients, visitors and staff.
He has a track record of delivering high-quality research in areas including the role malnutrition in IBD, intestinal-failure associated liver disease, and pelvic radiation disease. He is invited regularly to present his findings at conferences and seminars globally and continues to publish in high-impact medical journals.
Dr. Mehta contributes to medical education as an accredited trainer for the ESPEN Clinical Nutrition Diploma, co-chairing the UCL Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition and Public Health, and sits on the organising committee for the UCL postgraduate course in Clinical Nutrition.

Dr Mehta and his staff provide a superb and first rate experience , happy to recommend
Dr Mehta is an absolutely superlative doctor. He treated me recently for a recurrence of some digestive issues. He was always extremely kind, kept me fully informed, treated me with the utmost respect and was flexible and never patronising or sceptical as to my queries or requests (such as asking to listen to a podcast instead of sedation during a colonoscopy!). I would recommend him unhesitatingly.
I would like to sincerely thank you for your excellent care, your continuous follow-up, and for standing by me throughout my treatment. Your kindness, dedication, and support have meant a great deal to me. I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.
Excellent experience with Dr mehta. He took the time to truly listen to my concerns without rushing, which immediately put me at ease. His approach was thorough and methodical — rather than jumping straight to medication, he carried out a comprehensive investigation to rule out anything serious before recommending a plan. What impressed me most was how carefully he structured everything step by step, keeping me informed throughout. Once satisfied with the findings, he focused on long-term solutions including lifestyle changes and a referral to a dietician rather than simply prescribing medication. I felt genuinely heard and well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a doctor who takes a patient, thorough, and holistic approach to care.
Dr Mehta is both professional and extremely easy to speak to; he excels at putting one at ease. Conditions, outcomes and treatments are explained very clearly and concisely. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I went to Dr Mehta at a time when I wasn't sure on what path to take in terms of medication. Dr Mehta was extremely understanding and helpful in explaining any concerns and questions I had. I am soon to start a new medication and feeling positive, all thanks to Dr Mehta
