Dr Koumoutsos Ioannis (ΜD, MSc, FEBGH)

Gastroenterologist - Interventional Endoscopist

I am a medical graduate of the University of Patras and I hold a Master's degree (MSc) from the National Kapodistrian University of Athens with honors in "Crisis and Mass Disaster Management" with a thesis on "Migration and Hepatitis in Greece"

I specialised in gastroenterology at 417 NIMTS and I hold a European Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Diploma (European Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology) by examination.

In 2014 I received a scholarship from the Hellenic Gastroenterological Society for postgraduate training in Interventional Therapeutic Endoscopy and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) in the UK.

After successfully completing my postgraduate training, I spent three years as a Consultant Gastroenterologist at Guys & St Thomas Hospital, a specialist reference centre for idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBS - Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis) in the UK, where I gained extensive experience in the management of patients with IBS.

From 2018 to 2023 I worked as a Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Gastroenterology Clinic of Southend University Hospital, Mid & South Essex Foundation Trust, where I was the scientific head of the IBS (Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases) department and actively participated in research projects.

From 2021 to 2023 I was Coordinating Director of the Endoscopy Department at Southend University Hospital, with a particular interest in both interventional endoscopy and the creation of scientific protocols for faster and more effective patient management.

Since 2023 I have been working as an attending physician at the B' Gastroenterology Clinic of Iaso Hospital, where I actively participate in the work of the clinic and educational activities, and where I perform therapeutic interventional endoscopic procedures.

I have many years of extensive professional experience in the management of patients with acute and chronic digestive diseases while I perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy including specialized interventional endoscopic examinations such as endoscopic palindromic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), polypectomies, endoscopic dilations and stenting.
