Dr Millar has been a consultant in gastroenterology since 1997, with a busy practice in an NHS associated teaching hospital and with clinics in the private sector.  He has particular interests in the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer and in providing a holistic and caring approach to patients with irritable bowel syndrome. He works alongside therapists and experienced dieticians who are trained in modern dietary approaches.   He is an expert endoscopist and has carried out over 10,000 procedures.  He ensures that patients have a comfortable and safe experience by working with anaesthetists for patients needing this service.  For others, his skilled approach means that sedation can be avoided.  The patient always makes the choice about the level of sedation.
