Professional statement

Dr James Andrew Robinson is a top gastroenterologist based in Manchester, who specialises in treating diarrhoea, acid reflux, indigestion, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), among others. Well-versed in all aspects of gastroenterology, his expertise has led to his appointment to several prominent positions in his field, including Clinical Director for Gastroenterology, Respiratory Medicine and Palliative Care at Salford Royal Hospital, as well as being named Core Medical Training Director for North West Deanery and Associate Regional Advisor to the Royal College of Physicians.

Dr Robinson graduated from Oxford University and worked there before returning to the North-West, where he underwent further training.

  • Dr. James Andrew Robinson is incredible. Not only he has taken great care of my health, but also he was so lovely to speak with at every appointment. Very knowledgeable and professional, all has been sorted. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I am extremely excited of the service, everything was excellent from the start to the end. I don’t have enough words to accomplish the doctor, but that was one of the most amazing doctors I ever met in my entire life. Very nice personality also. I highly recommend him!
