Dr Deepak Suri is a consultant gastroenterologist and hepatologist at Welbeck’s Digestive Health centre in London, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive and liver conditions. He sees patients with a wide range of symptoms, including heartburn and acid reflux, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, chronic constipation, changes in bowel habits and rectal bleeding. His practice also covers irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bowel cancer and liver conditions, including fatty liver disease and other hepatobiliary disorders.

Dr Suri offers a comprehensive range of investigations to identify the underlying causes of symptoms, rule out serious conditions and guide treatment. He combines non-invasive blood and stool tests, supported by imaging where appropriate, with procedures including gastroscopy, colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy. His services also include bowel cancer screening and prevention, FibroScan and liver function testing, alongside gut microbiome testing and point-of-care stool testing.

Dr Suri takes a patient-centred, holistic approach to care, providing clear explanations and developing individualised management plans that may include non-medical approaches to symptom relief. Prevention is an important part of his practice, with an emphasis on early screening and lifestyle changes that can help slow disease progression and reduce the need for more complex treatment. His treatment recommendations are evidence-based and informed by international guidelines.

Dr Suri was appointed a Consultant Gastroenterologist in 2002, following specialist training at London teaching hospitals, and has since developed extensive experience in both NHS and private practice. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 2006 and has held several senior NHS leadership positions, including clinical director for medicine and clinical lead for endoscopy and gastroenterology at the Whittington Hospital, and clinical lead for viral hepatitis services at University College London Hospitals.
