COVID 19 Update

Due to COVID 19 Pandemic like most physicians across the UK I am only dealing with acute NHS Hospital related emergency issues and am no longer seeing patients at KIMS for the foreseeable future.  

Information and advice can be found at Public Health England, Crohn's and Colitis UK and British Liver Trust websites.  

I am Dr Philip Mairs, Consultant
Physician and Gastroenterologist at Darent Valley Hospital, near Bluewater in
Kent and Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup. My Private Practice is based at the KIMS Hospital in
Kent. My interests include all aspects of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology
including inflammatory bowel disease, cancer screening, dyspepsia and reflux, Barrett's
oesophagus, nutrition, hepatology, and irritable bowel syndrome plus
conventional gastroscopy, colonoscopy, advanced polypectomy and small bowel wireless capsule endoscopy.

The purpose of this site is to inform
visitors, patients and other health practitioners about my services.
