Dr. McColl is one of the worst 'specialists' I have ever experienced. He was dismissive, demeaning, discriminative and extremely out-of-date in his evaluation practices. He also lied on my medical notes to my GP, to which I didn't discover until around a year later. He left me suffering unnecessarily and still blames things on IBS, despite a recent endoscopy procedure showing gastritis. He also suggested that I have children to take my mind off my symptoms, and maybe try some valium as it is likely psychologically-induced symptoms. Please AVOID this guy at all costs, you will not be safe.

Although symptoms have not changed since I saw a different consultant Prof McColl said that the possible diagnosis I was given then was very unusual (research says differently) and he had no reason to believe that it was indeed correct. He did not explain reasons why he felt this, and I cannot find any reason for such a difference of opinion myself. His opinion was the opposite of the last consultant who actually listened to my symptoms and current medications and treated my symptoms appropriately and was determined to get to the bottom of my gastro problems if this did not help. Prof McColl had no interest in getting answers and put everything down to IBS and discharged me. I then needed to seek another opinion, he fully agreed with the first consultant I saw.
