Such a lovely chap. Incredible knowledge and advice. Really took the time to explain what was going on. Great sense of humour and fantastic bedside manner. Made me feel completely at ease. Superb follow up care. Amazingly efficient communication and support from his secretary as well, and was utterly thrilled to have such a team to support me through, what was, a worrying time. Would highly recommend.

Dr Loganayagam is a rare gem of a consultant gastroenterologist. His knowledge of, and insight into his field, is only matched by his ability to explain the situation in a way that a layman can understand, and accept. It is also clear that he has a deep sense of humanity. It’s rare to meet a senior medical professional who has all the above. Highly recommended
