Reviews and patient stories for The London Gastroenterology Centre

Professor Laurence Lovat is professional, friendly, and open. He was charming in his approach to explaining everything, and then he proposed a pragmatic solution for my health issue with clear and logical explanation.

I have been taken care of by Prof Lovat for a number of years, and am so grateful for his excellent care and treatment. He's been looking after me with very high professional standard, patient, attentive, compassionate, and friendly manners. He consults with a clear and careful explanation to ease anxiety. Alexandra, his PA, also has been helping me in the same manners, and very efficient in arranging an appointment and any follow up required. I highly recommend Prof Lovat.

I had a colonoscopy with Professor Lovat. I was quite nervous as I had never had one before and I was worried it would hurt. Professor Lovat was wonderful, he put me at ease, explained everything before the procedure, told me how I could ask for more sedation during the procedure if necessary, and explained the results afterwards. The procedure was not painful at all and he is clearly extremely skilled at what he does. 100% recommend.

Professional, knowledgeable, addressed my health concern, gave me long term advice, experience was very good. Life changing.

Exceptional gives so much more than his time. Patient care is first class and he has a sense of humour.

I am delighted to have been referred to Professor Lovat. He takes time to clearly explain everything and answer any questions in a very friendly manner. He is clearly a leading expert in his field.

Very experienced gastroenterologist. Very thorough and clear management plan.

I suffered with irritable bowel syndrome for 20 years. I could feel food going through me and I used to get quite bad stomach aches.” I am so grateful that you did the SmartPill test for me and demonstrated my problem. The medicine you gave me was terrific. I am now feeling better than I have done for more than 20 years. I went to a number of other doctors before I came to you, but you are the first one who has been able to help me.

Now that my wedding day is approaching I take this opportunity to thank you profoundly for your help and devotion all along.

Once again, I’d like to thank you for your kindness and sensitive approach to your patients. It is really deeply appreciated.

I need to thank you, most sincerely, for your interest and work on my throat problem. The extent and accuracy that you can achieve truly amaze me.

The endoscopy was a breeze. You made it so easy. The staff were so friendly and reassuring. I would happily go through another one although I hope I won’t need to!

I just wanted to again express my gratitude to you as a colleague who was willing to advise freely and provide support! Thank you!

I would like to thank you form the bottom of your heart not only for your readiness to perform endoscopy on a Sunday evening but also for the exceptional kindness towards both my mother and myself

I would like to extend my respects to Professor Lovat and his team. In an oblique sort of way, I have enjoyed being part of the process, which under the Professor’s explanation, I could even pretend to understand. Such close tolerances, applied to such a spongy environment amazes me. Perhaps I already know enough! A privilege: so again, with the kindest regards and very many thanks.
