Professor Laurence Lovat

I feel very fortunate to have met Professor Lovat, who is an extremely thorough and knowledgeable doctor. I liked his style: he is straight-talking, confident, and he has a sense of humour – always helpful when you are discussing embarrassing problems! Professor Lovat and his secretary, Alexandra, are both excellent when it comes to communication – good problem solvers, efficient and swift to respond to concerns. Thanks to his excellent care over the last few months, I am already seeing improvements in my health. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Swift and efficient service. Everything turned out nicely.

Dr Lovat is absolutely first rate and is the person who managed to diagnose, resolve and allay my concerns about my acid reflux. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I visited Dr Lovat again after a c12yr period as my reflux symptoms had become worse and I was concerned that my health had changed. As before, he was incredibly patient focused and pragmatic in creating a treatment plan, enacting it and providing me clear and manageable steps to address it all while putting me at ease and making me feel thoroughly reassured.

I went to see professor Lovat in a ‘preventative capacity ‘. Friends and relatives had had colonoscopies and polyps removed and they encouraged me to get a check up. Professor Lovat was supportive of this strategy for someone my age. Of course it is not something to look forward to. But in fact was not nearly as unpleasant or painful as I had expected. The bowel preparation was definitely the worst part. After that it was all pretty easy. Professor Lovat and his team were supportive, respectful and kind the whole time. It was mildly uncomfortable. But basically fine.

I was very apprehensive about the procedure. Prof Lovat explained exactly what would happen. Listened to my concerns with kindness and patience and I would say was a supreme professional. Calm, reassuring, and from my point of view it was a painless procedure that was over very quickly. Prof Lovat reassured me immediately after the procedure about my greatest concern and then discussed the results of his investigation and talked through with me the options for treatment and management. I could not have expected more. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone needing an endoscopy. Also the nursing team were highly professional and very kind. They were at pains to look after me both before and after the procedure.

Dr Lovat was super helpful throughout my process with him. He gave me great advice, listened to my symptoms and concerns and gave options that hadn’t been given previously

I have been a patient of Professor Lovat’s for several years. Over the years, I have also seen other gastroenterologists in both the UK and Germany. Without a doubt, Professor Lovat is the best doctor I have ever had. He listens to patients’ concerns attentively, as is also evident in his superb letters. He explains medical conditions and diagnostic tests in great detail, and he carries out procedures such as endoscopies and colonoscopies with exceptional care and a wonderful bedside manner, making the experience as comfortable as possible for the patient. His practice is also extremely well managed by his PA, who is very accommodating, responsive, and kind. I would recommend Professor Lovat to anyone without reservation. He is a wonderful doctor.

Outstanding doctor. Very kind.

World class service and medical care.

Excellent is all aspects.
