Patient's Information about GERD and Barrett's

Dr Ertan offers the most current evaluation, an individualized short-term and long-term management plans for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Patients with chronic GERD can develop inflammation and ulceration (esophagitis), or scarring (stricture) in the esophagus.
