After being under a Gastroenterologist at my local hospital on and off for a number of years and not being given any proper diagnosis for my digestive symptoms, I was finally fortunate to get a referral to Dr Emmanuel. Like some of the other reviewers, I also was nervous about going to see him. However, he completely put me at my ease and I found him to be a good listener, who was interested in my symptoms and gave me hope of finally getting to the bottom of what is causing them. Dr Emmanuel is a Neurogastroenterologist and it was like a breath of fresh air to be seen by a Doctor who I felt thinks outside the box, who takes any neurological conditions into account that could be affecting the G I tract. He is quietly spoken, so you have to listen to him carefully. I wish I had taken someone with me, as I had trouble remembering everything he told me and take all the information in. I have, however, confidence and faith in Dr Emmanuel, after years of suffering from digestive problems. He has arranged for me to have some tests done, so I am hopeful that I might start to get some answers and treatment.

Having read some of the negative reviews on here, I was very nervous before my appointment today. However, I found Dr Emmanual an absolute breath of fresh air! He really listened to me carefully and his explanation of what he thought my problem was, was totally what I had thought all along, even though my local consultant had disagreed with me. At last I have a better idea why I have had 30 years of problems, and even though they may be no ideal solution at least today I got answers. Yes, he is very quietly spoken and you have to listen very carefully, but that is in no way a criticism, contrary to what some of the reviews say. I would recommend Dr Emmanual very highly, and I am very fortunate that my own consultant decided to refer me to him.

I have been under the care of this brilliant man for 17 years , he is by far the best physician I have ever come across, I owe him my life and dread the day he retires. His ability to think outside the box has resulted in secondary conditions being recognised and treated . I feel safer on this planet knowing my medical care is in his hands . Wonderful human being , top top class doctor. I would and have recommended him to friends and family members who all have the same high opinion of DR E as he is affectionately known by all of us.

I was a little nervous of seeing Dr Emmanuel after the reviews I read here but he was excellent. He was kind, gentle and knowledgeable and listened to me and my history and experience. He has also given me a confirmed diagnosis after years of not getting anywhere with other professionals so I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He is softly spoken so you need to listen and you need an open mind that perhaps what you've been told is wrong with you so far might not be correct.

Dreadful doctor with no interpersonal skills. Talks AT you in a continuous flow of mumbled jargon without listening to your point of view at all. I was trying to tell him that my bowel problems are caused by MS lesions in my pons (brainstem), even showing him paper copies of past MRIs, but he insisted there was nothing wrong with me, as his tests showed the sacral nerve function to be normal, and he even suggested the matter could be resolved by seeing a nurse for bowel training exercises. I couldn't get through to him that the problem is with my BRAIN affecting the central control of my toilet functions.
