Gastroenterologists in Pune
2 gastroenterologists at Meridian Health, across 4 centres in Pune. Acidity, IBS, liver disease, jaundice and endoscopy care.
What gastroenterologists treat
Gastroenterology covers the digestive tract — food pipe, stomach, intestines — along with the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. A gastroenterologist investigates acidity and reflux, long-running abdominal pain, altered bowel habit, bleeding and jaundice, and manages conditions such as fatty liver, hepatitis, IBS and inflammatory bowel disease. Endoscopy and colonoscopy let them look directly at the lining and take samples in the same sitting.
Vomiting blood, black tarry stools, severe unrelenting abdominal pain, or jaundice with fever are emergencies — go to the nearest emergency department rather than waiting for an appointment.

When to see a gastroenterologist
These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.
What a consultation may include
Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.
- Liver function tests
- Whole-abdomen ultrasound
- Upper GI endoscopy or colonoscopy
- CT abdomen and pelvis
- MRCP for the bile ducts
