Dr. Atul Sharma
About the Doctor
Dr. Atul Sharma treats problems of the gut and liver. He uses endoscopy (a thin camera tube) to diagnose and treat. He has 17 years of experience. At Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, India, he is Chief – Motility and Third Space. "Third space" endoscopy means working inside the layers of the gut wall without any cuts on the skin.
He does POEM, G-POEM and Z-POEM, which ease swallowing and stomach-emptying problems. He removes early growths with ESD and EMR. He uses ERCP and EUS (camera and ultrasound tests) and SpyGlass to look inside bile ducts. Other tests include capsule endoscopy (a swallowed camera pill). He places stents and offers weight-loss options without surgery, such as a stomach balloon or endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. He tests food pipe and back passage pressure (manometry), and acid with BRAVO pH testing.
He treats acid reflux (GERD), achalasia and other swallowing disorders, and Barrett's oesophagus. He also treats gut bleeding, liver disease, pancreas and bile duct problems, and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease).
His MBBS is from GMC Jammu and his MD in Medicine from SKIMS. He gained his DM in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at SGPGIMS, Lucknow. The Baldota Institute of Digestive Sciences, Mumbai, gave him a fellowship in advanced endoscopy. Medwell can book your visit, and he chooses treatment after reading your reports.
