He completed his MBBS and MD (Medicine) from King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, followed by his DM in Gastroenterology from the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow — among the most respected medical institutions in the country.

Irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation and irregular bowel habits.
Diagnosis and treatment of ulcers and recurring stomach pain.
One of the most common liver problems today — assessed, staged and reversed where possible.
Yellowing of eyes/skin, hepatitis B & C and other liver infections.
Gallbladder stones and related pain — evaluation and onward care.
Acute and chronic inflammation of the pancreas and abdominal pain.
Bleeding, piles, fissures and anal discomfort — sensitively handled.
Inflammatory bowel disease causing long-term diarrhoea and cramps.
Loose motions that won't settle, and unexplained weight loss.
Food sticking, painful swallowing and food-pipe problems.
Painless, day-care diagnostic procedures performed by Dr. Anil Kumar to look directly inside the digestive tract and find the cause of your symptoms.
A thin, flexible camera gently examines the food pipe, stomach and the first part of the intestine — helping diagnose acidity, ulcers, swallowing trouble and the cause of stomach pain or bleeding.
A careful examination of the large intestine to investigate persistent loose motions, bleeding, change in bowel habits, and to screen for polyps and early bowel cancer.
Simple, trustworthy answers to the questions patients ask most. This information is for general awareness — always consult a doctor for your specific problem.
Feeling full, heavy or gassy after meals is common and usually not dangerous — but persistent bloating deserves a check-up.
Eating slowly, avoiding fried and very spicy food, cutting back on cold drinks, and walking after meals often help. If bloating comes with weight loss, vomiting, blood, or doesn't settle over a few weeks, it should be evaluated rather than self-treated.
That burning behind the chest after meals is acid reflux. Occasional acidity is normal; frequent acidity is a signal to act.
Smaller meals, not lying down right after eating, raising the head of the bed, and limiting tea, coffee and smoking can reduce reflux. Relying on antacids every day instead of finding the cause can hide a more serious problem — long-standing reflux should be assessed.
Fatty liver is now extremely common and often found by chance on ultrasound. The good news: in early stages it is largely reversible.
Gradual weight loss, regular activity, controlling sugar and avoiding alcohol are the cornerstones. Most early fatty liver causes no symptoms, which is exactly why it is missed — a proper assessment tells you which grade it is and what to do next.
Hard, infrequent or difficult stools are common, but constipation that is new or worsening should not be ignored.
Enough water, fibre from fruits and vegetables, and a fixed daily routine help most people. A recent change in bowel habit, blood in the stool, or constipation with weight loss are reasons to see a gastroenterologist.
A colonoscopy isn't only for emergencies — it can catch problems early, before they become serious.
It is worth discussing if you have blood in the stool, a lasting change in bowel habits, unexplained anaemia or weight loss, or a family history of bowel cancer. Early detection of polyps can prevent cancer altogether.
Some digestive symptoms are the body's way of asking for attention. Knowing them helps you seek care in time.
Blood in vomit or stool, black stools, difficulty swallowing, unintended weight loss, yellow eyes or skin, and severe or ongoing abdominal pain all deserve prompt medical evaluation rather than waiting.
