Do you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?

If you have heartburn, regurgitation, swallowing difficulties or even symptoms in your throat such as cough and hoarseness, GERD can make your life miserable. It affects eating habits, work productivity, sleep, and just your overall quality of life.

You are not alone. GERD affects millions of people - up to 40 percent of the population of the US. Some try to modify their lifestyle, while others take antacids or other over-the-counter medications. Many are prescribed powerful medications designed to be taken for life. Yet, many still suffer and crave relief. If this is you, we understand and we are here to help.

Listen to an information session to better understand GERD and the surgical options that can bring you relief.
