Gastroenterologist, General Surgeon & Obesity Specialist
Dr. Nษrmin Novruzova
A SCOPE-certified gastroenterologist and general surgeon with deep expertise in complex obesity management, bariatric surgical preparation and recovery, and functional treatment of chronic gastrointestinal and autoimmune conditions.
Biography & Philosophy
Dr. Nษrmin Novruzova graduated from Azerbaijan Medical University's Faculty of General Medicine (Treatment-Prophylaxis) in 2010 and completed her internship at City Hospital No. 5. With a strong surgical foundation, she spent seven years (2011โ2018) as a General Surgeon and Department Head at a private hospital, gaining extensive hands-on experience in surgical interventions and post-operative patient management.
Her career evolved beyond pure surgery as she recognized the critical role of nutrition and metabolic health in surgical outcomes โ particularly in obese patients. This insight led her to pursue SCOPE certification through the World Obesity Federation, becoming a certified obesity management specialist. She further deepened her clinical nutrition expertise as a DNT-certified Dietitian, allowing her to bridge the gap between surgical intervention and long-term metabolic recovery.
At ANDOP Clinic, Dr. Novruzova serves as both a gastroenterologist and trainer, bringing a uniquely comprehensive perspective that spans the full patient journey โ from initial gastrointestinal diagnostics and pre-bariatric surgical preparation, through the surgery itself, to post-operative nutritional rehabilitation. Her clinical philosophy centers on a functional medicine approach: treating chronic and autoimmune conditions by addressing their root metabolic and digestive causes rather than merely managing symptoms.
Treatment Specializations
Dr. Novruzova's clinical practice covers a wide range of interconnected specialties. She designs treatment plans for chronic gastrointestinal diseases, manages pre- and post-surgical recovery nutrition for bariatric patients, and applies functional medicine approaches to autoimmune and chronic conditions. Her expertise also extends to comprehensive obesity treatment, metabolic syndrome management, and the application of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to support long-term patient adherence and behavioral change.
