Professor Siwan Thomas-Gibson

BSc, MBBS, MD, FRCP

Consultant Gastroenterologist and Specialist Endoscopist

Dr Thomas Gibson is without a doubt, one of the most impressive, kind, personable and skilful individuals I have ever met. She listens, explains and performs procedures with such expertise and empathy. Consultations are an absolute pleasure because you are given great opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns and engage fully with your condition. I've never come across this before in medical consultations. I feel incredibly lucky to have met and been treated by Dr Thomas Gibson - I've also been in remission for several years now, essentially since she started treating me (which may be luck, but I don't believe so).
