About Mr Ian McAllister

Mr Ian McAllister is a highly experienced Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon with dedicated expertise in laparoscopic surgery, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. His practice encompasses the full spectrum of modern colorectal surgery, from early investigation and diagnosis to advanced minimally invasive treatments. He is particularly skilled in managing bowel and rectal cancer, offering comprehensive care that includes diagnostic assessment, staging, and surgical intervention.

Mr McAllister has extensive experience in the surgical management of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, providing tailored treatment plans for patients with complex inflammatory bowel conditions. He regularly investigates and treats rectal bleeding and is proficient in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of anorectal disorders, including haemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistula-in-ano. He is also experienced in managing diverticular disease, offering both medical oversight and surgical treatment when required.

Colonoscopy forms an important part of his diagnostic practice, enabling early detection of pathology and accurate assessment of symptoms.

I had upper endoscopy . Mr Mc Allister explained the procedure and I was offered sedation I decided to try without. Due to Mr McAllister’s skill and patience it was straight forward and I was able to go home soon after.

My procedure was very nerve wrecking for me but he had put me at ease the whole time. I could tell he was skilled at his job as the whole process was extremely smooth and minimal discomfort. It also didn’t take too long either which was excellent.
