How Dr. Noor can help

Dr. Mohd. Talha Noor begins with a detailed history and examination, then advises only the tests that are needed, such as blood tests, ultrasound or endoscopy. Treatment is planned around the cause and may include medication, diet and lifestyle guidance, or endoscopic procedures where appropriate.

When to see a gastroenterologist

See a specialist if symptoms are persistent, getting worse, or come with warning signs such as blood in vomit or stool, black stools, jaundice, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss or severe pain.
