Dr Waqas Gaba

Dr Waqas Gaba is a UK-trained consultant gastroenterologist and hepatologist at Spire Fylde Coast Hospital, providing specialist care for patients with digestive and liver conditions. He commonly sees patients with symptoms such as persistent bloating, abdominal pain, IBS, reflux, and abnormal liver tests, particularly when symptoms are ongoing, unclear, or not improving despite previous treatment.

Many patients seek his opinion when they are frustrated or unsure about what is causing their symptoms. His approach focuses on identifying the underlying cause, explaining the problem clearly, and providing a structured, step-by-step plan forward.

Dr Gaba holds dual specialist accreditation in gastroenterology and hepatology and is a Member of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP). Alongside his private practice, he works within the NHS and is actively involved in specialist hepatology services, biologic therapy pathways, and advanced endoscopy training (including ERCP).

He has a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), functional gut disorders, and liver conditions including fatty liver disease and abnormal liver function tests.

Where appropriate, he provides timely access to investigations such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy, helping patients reach a diagnosis without unnecessary delays. Consultations are designed to ensure patients feel listened to, reassured, and confident about the next steps in their care.
