CIDS – Where Expertise Meets Compassion for Better Digestive Health

The Central Institute of Digestive Sciences (CIDS) is more than just a medical institution—it is a beacon of hope for those seeking excellence in Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Advanced Endoscopy. Rooted in compassion, driven by expertise, and dedicated to innovation, CIDS is redefining digestive healthcare with a patient-first approach.

Founded by Dr. Abhinav Kumar, CIDS was established with a bold vision: to bring world-class, comprehensive, and affordable digestive care to patients across Uttar Pradesh, neighboring states, and Nepal. We believe that no patient should have to travel far for high-quality treatment, which is why we have expanded beyond metropolitan centers, ensuring access to cutting-edge care in the heart of communities.

CIDS is headquartered at Healthcity Vistaar Super Specialty Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility that provides quality care for admitted and critically ill patients, including those requiring ICU care and liver transplantation. Our team of highly skilled consultants is available 24/7, ensuring round-the-clock expert care for those in need.

What sets CIDS apart is its collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to digestive health. Unlike traditional models that rely solely on individual physicians, our institute brings together team of gastroenterologists, hepatologists, transplant specialists, endoscopists, colorectal surgeons, hepatobiliary surgeons, dietitians, and allied healthcare professionals. This team-based approach ensures that every patient benefits from the collective expertise, experience, and dedication of multiple specialists working together to achieve the best possible outcomes.

As the only dedicated digestive institute in Uttar Pradesh, CIDS has established a far-reaching presence in both urban and peripheral regions. Our expert gastroenterologists and state-of-the-art facilities serve communities in Sultanpur, Lakhimpur Kheri and Lucknow, with branches in Mahanagar, Sushant Golf City. This expansive network allows us to make high-quality digestive healthcare accessible to those who need it most.

At CIDS, we firmly believe that technology alone does not define excellent healthcare—true excellence lies in the time, attention, and care given to every patient. Our approach prioritizes detailed history-taking, thorough clinical examination, and patient-centered discussions before turning to diagnostic tools. This ensures precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. To maintain this high standard of care, we have implemented a fixed number of appointments per doctor, ensuring that every patient receives the time and attention they deserve. Additionally, we empower our patients to take an active role in their health, fostering awareness, responsibility, and long-term well-being.
