My initial consultation with Dr Alisa was great. He has a nice manner and recommend the required diagnostic tests needed for my symptoms and concerns.

I underwent gastroscopy, and this had to be done without sedation as I live alone so there would be nobody to keep an eye on me at home afterwards. It could not have been easier. Of course, this is not a procedure anyone would choose to undergo for fun (!) but it really was not a problem. I understand from others that the level of comfort/discomfort depends entirely on the skill of the practitioner, which can only mean that Dr Alisa is unusually highly skilled. He also explained everything calmly as we went along, so there was never any fear, and I was told throughout how much longer it would go on, which was extremely helpful. Follow-up information was also excellent. If you need gastroscopy/endoscopy, this is the specialist to go to.
