It is suggested to contact a GI doctor if you experience acid reflux symptoms twice or more weekly, as this may indicate gastrointestinal reflux disease. GERD is a chronic form of acid reflux that can cause damage to the upper digestive tract if treatment is not received. The team at Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates can evaluate your current symptoms and determine a diagnosis for the condition. Our providers can also help you identify any triggers of acid reflux to reduce your symptoms.
