About me

I like to think of myself as a general specialist in that I have a wide experience of all aspects of gastroenterology and am comfortable to see and treat a host of problems. I've worked and trained at some of the most respected hospitals in London including St Mark's Hospital, The Liver Unit at King's College Hospital and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. My specific clinical interests lie in the areas of Inflammatory Bowel disease, Nutrition and the complex set of symptoms that make up the Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In addition to my clinical interests, I am greatly interested in the economics and management of health services and am involved in a number of management roles in the hospitals that I work at.

I'm Canadian-raised, Sri Lankan-born and have lived in the UK for nearly 20 years. I'm married to a kidney specialist and have two girls whom I love spending time with. I enjoy seeing patients of all backgrounds and I spend a good part of the consultation getting to know you as I believe that's very important when beginning a relationship.
