Mild or moderate acid reflux may be controllable with some minor lifestyle changes such as avoiding triggering foods in conjunction with over-the-counter medications or antacids. Severe cases, however, may require a more extensive treatment approach, and patients with GERD can be effectively treated with 2 different types of minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Johnson and his experienced staff can help you understand your treatment options and design a surgical intervention that is minimally invasive, but effective, allowing you to achieve lasting relief of and freedom from your uncomfortable GERD symptoms, so you can live your life without interruption from chronic acid reflux and heartburn.
