Dr Rishi Goel is a highly skilled consultant gastroenterologist in London who specialises in gastroscopy, colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy, and the management of conditions such as acid reflux, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). He privately practises at the New Victoria Hospital and his NHS base is Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust where he now leads the inflammatory bowel disease and video capsule endoscopy services.

Dr Goel graduated from Guy’s, King’s, and St Thomas’ Medical Schools, London, in 2004. His comprehensive medical training across London and the South East equipped him with extensive experience, particularly in gastroenterology and general medicine, which he pursued through specialist training from 2008 onwards.

He has made significant contributions to research into the genetics and microbiology of Crohn’s disease and IBD. His three-year tenure at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals was instrumental in this research, and his work has been recognised through the publication of over 30 peer-reviewed articles, numerous abstracts presented at international conferences, and authorship of a textbook chapter. Dr Goel has also contributed as a sub-investigator in an international clinical trial for a novel treatment for Crohn’s disease, and he continues to be actively involved in clinical research.

His recent academic achievements include an MD Res degree from King’s College London in 2024, with a thesis focusing on the microbiome and genetics in oral and gut Crohn's disease.

Dr Goel's sub-specialties include therapeutic endoscopy, wireless pH monitoring for acid reflux, orofacial granulomatosis, dyspepsia, indigestion, upper GI disorders, gastro-oesophageal reflux, colorectal polyps and polypectomy. His expertise extends to offering advanced services such as Video Capsule Endoscopy and Acid Reflux Testing (wireless pH monitoring) at New Victoria Hospital.

He is a member of various professional organisations, including the British Society of Gastroenterology and the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation.
