Conditions We Treat: Barrett’s Esophagus
Barrett’s esophagus is a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) . GERD is a condition in which the stomach regurgitates its contents into the esophagus. This causes erosions in the esophagus.

- Treatment for Barrett’s esophagus ranges from lifestyle changes to medication, or in some cases, surgery.
- In order to confirm a diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus, you will require diagnostic testing. Procedures may include X-rays or an endoscopy.
