The hospital offers end-to-end GI services — from outpatient consultation and diagnostic endoscopy to complex therapeutic procedures and dedicated Gastro ICU care.
A gastroenterologist diagnoses and treats a wide range of digestive system and liver conditions. This includes GERD, IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, fatty liver disease, hepatitis B and C, liver cirrhosis, gallstones, pancreatitis, peptic ulcers, GI bleeding, colorectal polyps, and early-stage gastrointestinal cancers. If you experience persistent abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or blood in stool, consulting a gastroenterologist is strongly recommended.
Yes. ERCP is available at our Gastroenterology Department and is used to treat conditions involving the bile duct, pancreatic duct, and gallbladder — such as bile duct stones, strictures, and pancreatic ductal issues. ERCP at Innocent Hearts is performed by Dr. Ankit Anand, who has comprehensive procedural training in therapeutic endoscopy. In trained and experienced hands, ERCP is a well-established and safe procedure.
Colonoscopy is performed under conscious sedation, which means most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. You may feel mild bloating for a few hours afterwards, which typically resolves on its own. Preparation involves a clear liquid diet the day before and a prescribed bowel cleansing prep. Our team will guide you thoroughly through every step of the preparation process to ensure comfort and safety.
You should consult a gastroenterologist if you experience recurring or persistent symptoms such as: abdominal pain or cramping, bloating that does not improve with standard treatment, blood in stool or vomiting blood, unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, persistent diarrhoea or constipation, yellowing of eyes or skin (jaundice), or abnormal liver function test (LFT) reports. As a superspeciality hospital, Innocent Hearts ensures that complex or chronic GI issues receive the depth of specialist attention they require.
