Gastroenterology Consultations

​

  • Prior to or following your endoscopy (colonoscopy and/or gastroscopy) you are likely to require a gastroenterology consultation.

​

  • In person consultations are preferred by most patients, but phone or video calls may suit patients living outside Nelson.

​

  • Most patients who have not undergone an endoscopy previously will want to have a consultation prior to discuss their symptoms and the risks and benefits of endoscopy.

​

  • Regular consultations may be required for conditions requiring long term medications such as:

    • Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohns Disease, Ulcerative Colitis)​

    • Liver disease (Viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver diseases)
