Professor Owen Epstein is a highly experienced gastroenterologist. He is a senior author of the best-selling textbook "Clinical Examination" and has published over 100 peer reviewed and research papers. Professor Epstein's career has been dedicated to front-line clinical work, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and clinical research. As part of his role in education, he has lectured widely and chaired both the clinical department of gastroenterology and the endoscopy unit at the Royal Free Hospital.
Professor Epstein has a special interest in the innovation of healthcare and utilisation of modern medical technologies to benefit patients. These include whole bowel wireless capsule (pill) endoscopy and hydrogen or 13C breath testing variously for lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Helicobacter pylori, and stomach pump function. He also has considerable experience in the physiological assessment of the vagus nerve and stress and, in particular, its relationship to abnormal gut feelings.
Professor Epstein was one of the first gastroenterologists to recognise the role of nurse specialists.

He also led the development of colonoscopy at the hospital and trained many of the registrars and specialist nurse endoscopists.

My son had seen a variety of specialists before Dr Epstein who was excellent, very kind and reassuring. After various tests, he was able to diagnose a problem with the vagus nerve which was treated with some quite cutting edge (not expensive) technology that really worked! Can’t thank him enough.
Really excellent service! Very clear and friendly. Diagnosis and treatment plan was really well explained. I was given a diagnosis where other consultants did not know what the issue was for an issue which had been ongoing for almost 2 years. Highly recommend!
Very clear with information and instructions. Easy to speak to. Easy going personality. Very nice experience with him
Professor Epstein is friendly, kind, professional and very knowledgeable. He is very kind and explains everything to you. Lovely Doctor.
My experience so far has been very good. My health issues, and thoughts about my issues have been listened to. Prof Epsteins approach is gentle and kind and everything explained well. I have yet to begin treatment.
I would highly recommend Professor Epstein and his team. After seeing numerous doctors without a clear explanation for my symptoms, I sought out Professor Epstein for his expertise in the vagus nerve. I completed an HRV test which revealed some surprising results and now feel optimistic that I am on the right track to improving my symptoms.
Exception level of service and knowledge in the field
Without hesitation, I am giving Professor Owen Epstein a full 5-star rating. His level of expertise, dedication, and patient care is truly remarkable. Medical Knowledge & Experience: Second to none. He stays at the forefront of gastroenterology and ensures his patients get the best, most up-to-date treatments. Patient Care: He takes the time to listen, reassures you, and never makes you feel rushed. His compassion and attention to detail make a huge difference. Effectiveness of Treatment: Thanks to his guidance, my Ulcerative Colitis is well-managed, and I feel confident about my health. If you are looking for a top-tier gastroenterologist, I highly recommend Professor Owen Epstein. He is simply the best!
Prof. Epstein has helped me to navigate through my journey, from the start I felt supported, Prof Epstein is very knowledgeable and has managed to understand my symptoms and guided me through the tests I needed. Prof. Epstein was not the first doctor I saw, I had to go through 3 different doctors to understand what was happening with me and I’m very grateful for coming across his practice, thank you for your support!
Great doctor
