Gastroscopy, also known as upper endoscopy, is a procedure that allows our specialists to examine the lining of your upper gastrointestinal tract. Using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a tiny camera, we can see your oesophagus (gullet), stomach, and upper small intestine. This procedure helps us to identify various digestive issues and provide timely interventions.

 Dr Albusoda is an expert in gastroscopy (upper endoscopy) and the management of digestive issues in London. With extensive training in the world’s most prestigious centres and a Ph.D. focused on oesophageal pain, Dr. Albusoda brings unparalleled expertise to every patient’s care.

• Persistent Abdominal Pain: If you’re experiencing ongoing abdominal discomfort or pain, a gastroscopy can help uncover the underlying cause.
• Recurrent Heartburn or Acid Reflux: Frequent heartburn or acid reflux could indicate conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or esophagitis, which can be evaluated through gastroscopy.
• Difficulty Swallowing: Gastroscopy is essential in diagnosing conditions such as oesophagal strictures or tumours, which can impede swallowing function.
• Unexplained Weight Loss: Sudden or unexplained weight loss can sometimes be a sign of gastrointestinal issues requiring a gastroscopy investigation.
• Chronic Nausea or Vomiting: Persistent nausea or vomiting may signal conditions like gastritis, ulcers, or even tumours, all of which can be assessed with a gastroscopy.
• There are various other indications of a gastroscopy that your doctor can discuss with you
