Consultants


Ian Gooding
Gastroenterology and General Medicine
Colchester Hospital
I qualified as a doctor in 1995 from Cambridge University and was appointed to Colchester as a Consultant in 2008. I trained as a registrar in the London deanery, including posts at Hammersmith and St Mary’s Hospitals.
My areas of special interest are:
- interventional endoscopy (using endoscopy for treatments such as placement of stents and removal of gallstones)
- diseases of the bile duct and pancreas
- difficulties with swallowing caused by muscular problems in the oesophagus
- nutritional support
