Dr Farooq Khan is a UK-trained Consultant with vast knowledge and expertise in Hepatology and Gastroenterology. He was trained in Trent GI programme and completed Liver Transplant training at St. James Hospital Leeds. He has also completed a fellowship in Advance Endoscopy and performs interventional endoscopic procedures like ERCP, Spyglass, Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), EMR (endoscopic Mucosal resection) and ESD (Endoscopic submucosal dissection) as well as Endobariatric procedures. He also places GI stents to help with feeding using a ground-breaking technique of Endosuturing besides PEG/ PEJ placement.

Dr Farooq brings unique skills to the UAE by helping people to asses and manage the disease at early stages using special Clinical & Endoscopic expertise. He has developed a “bespoke service” for people with Diabetes and Fatty liver to get screened and managed at an early stage to help not only with their liver but also with their Diabetes before it gets worse, with particular clinical and research interest in this area. 

Dr Khan also brings a world of expertise in Endoscopic Ultrasound to our doorstep. EUS is a newer technique that allows accurate detection of Gastrointestinal, biliary and pancreatic problems that, at times, can be missed with CT or MRI and remain undiagnosed. It also allows Oncology and Radiotherapy based regimens to treat cancers more effectively. 

Dr Khan holds membership in multiple European and International GI and Hepatology societies to his credit. He frequently lectures at International conferences and is a keynote speaker to share his expertise with the world. He has published in multiple journals and also serves as a reviewer. Regarding his untiring commitment to Education and Academic activities, he has been awarded a prestigious fellowship of the Royal Academy of Medical Educators.
