Heartburn and reflux
Heartburn and reflux are conditions that commonly affect the gastrointestinal system. Reflux, also known as acid reflux, occurs when stomach acid travels back up the esophagus and into the mouth. Heartburn, a burning sensation in the chest, is a symptom of reflux.

Our GI health services
Our doctors provide a number of treatment options for patients experiencing GI disorders.
Gastrointestinal surgery
We treat GI conditions with conservative approaches, like medication and nonsurgical procedures, before suggesting surgery. However, if these approaches don't resolve your GI condition, surgery may be necessary.
Our highly skilled surgeons provide a wide range of procedures, and we are dedicated to helping you heal quickly and safely after surgery.
Acid reflux incisionless surgery
GERD occurs when a muscle at the end of the esophagus does not close properly, allowing stomach acid to leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus and irritate it.
Our hospital provides incisionless surgery to provide a reflux-free life for patients with GERD. This minimally invasive approach gives our patients the opportunity to eat, sleep and drink regularly, with no restrictions.
