Dr Anthony Lerman is an experienced Consultant Gastroenterologist with expertise across the full spectrum of gastroenterology and digestive health. He provides comprehensive assessment and treatment for patients experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, reflux, diarrhoea, constipation, rectal bleeding and unexplained weight loss, helping patients achieve an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.
A specialist in both Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine, Dr Lerman has particular expertise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and coeliac disease. He also manages a broad range of complex gastrointestinal disorders, including disorders of gut-brain interaction and multi-system conditions affecting the digestive tract. His practice is centred on understanding the underlying cause of symptoms and delivering evidence-based care tailored to the individual patient.
Dr Lerman offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic and investigative procedures, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and capsule endoscopy. He is experienced in the use of both small bowel and large bowel capsule investigations, enabling detailed assessment of the gastrointestinal tract while supporting accurate diagnosis and ongoing disease monitoring. He also provides iron infusions for patients with iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia.
Recognising that patients often present with symptoms rather than a diagnosis, Dr Lerman believes that careful clinical assessment, thorough investigation and collaborative care are essential to achieving the best outcomes. He works closely with specialist nurses, dietitians and other healthcare professionals to provide integrated care and is widely regarded for his approachable, thorough and patient-focused approach. Alongside his clinical practice, he is actively involved in medical education and the training of future doctors and gastroenterologists.
