Find gastroenterologists for reflux, heartburn, and GERD.

Treated by Gastroenterologists

Overview

Occasional heartburn is common, but frequent acid reflux (GERD) can damage the esophagus. Your primary care doctor can start treatment; a gastroenterologist evaluates persistent symptoms and performs upper endoscopy when needed.

When to see a doctor

  • Heartburn more than twice a week
  • Symptoms despite OTC medication
  • Difficulty swallowing or unintentional weight loss
  • Long-standing reflux (consider endoscopy screening)

Questions to ask

  • Do I need an endoscopy?
  • Should I be on long-term acid suppression?
  • What lifestyle changes will help most?
  • Could my symptoms be something else?
