How do I know if I am a candidate for the Esophyx procedure?
The first step is to call the office at 516-616-5500 to schedule a consultation. At this visit a thorough history and physical exam will be performed. The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the Esophyx procedure will be explained. Most patients will need to undergo an endoscopy, a Bravo pH probe, and possibly an upper gastrointestinal series x-ray. These tests will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Conclusion Although GERD can limit daily activities and productivity, it is rarely life threatening. With an understanding of the causes and proper treatment of heartburn and acid reflux most people will find relief.
