Got GERD?
If you have heartburn twice a week or more, you may have acid reflux disease, also known as GERD (gastroesophageal
reflux disease). GERD occurs when the valve between the stomach and esophagus is weak or opens abnormally. Stomach
fluids reflux into the esophagus and may cause injuries or produce symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. These
symptoms may signal a more serious condition.
Call 610-250-4242 to schedule an appointment and
we will coordinate with your primary care physician.
