Our gastrointestinal care program for GERD
Our gastroenterologists use the latest diagnostics and treatments to treat your acid reflux and related issues. We are dedicated to restoring your digestive health.
Advanced technology to diagnose GERD
We use innovative diagnostics for GERD, including the capsule esophageal pH test. This is a small device that attaches to your esophagus (using suction) while recording acidity (pH) levels.
Treatments for acid reflux
We may recommend trying lifestyle changes and medications before surgery. If surgical intervention is your best option, however, we provide minimally invasive techniques that can lead to reduced pain, scarring and recovery time.
Some of the procedures we offer include:
- Biliary drainage
- Gastrointestinal bleeding scans
