If you have persistent stomach problems or have been told your liver enzymes are high, a gastroenterologist is the right doctor. In India, a qualified stomach doctor holds DM (Gastroenterology). For liver conditions, look for a hepatologist with specific expertise in liver disease management. For endoscopy and colonoscopy, choose a hospital with a dedicated endoscopy unit.
