Specialist Care for Problems
of the Bowel & Abdomen
Heartburn &
Acid Reflux
Heartburn and acid reflux are troublesome but easily treated – you DON’T need to put up with your symptoms.
Abdominal
Pain
Tummy pain has many causes but it is important not to ignore it and to find and treat the cause.
Constipation &
Diarrhoea
Bloating, constipation and diarrhoea may be IBS but can be treated and should not be ignored.
Bleeding from the
Bottom
Blood from the bottom is not only frightening but ALWAYS abnormal and ALWAYS needs to be seen by a doctor.

About Me
Professor East graduated from Edinburgh University in 1999 and trained in Gastroenterology and General (Internal) Medicine on the North West London rotation. He was awarded an MD(Res) in 2009 from Imperial College London after research into helping find pre-cancerous polyps at colonoscopy at St Mark’s Hospital. He was appointed Consultant Gastroenterologist at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust in January 2010.
He moved to Oxfordshire a decade ago from North London with his wife and children, and has been enjoying the countryside ever since. He is passionate about developing Endoscopy and Bowel cancer screening for the Oxfordshire population, and in between this manages to fit in a bit of fly fishing and skiing.
