GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic digestive disorder that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation. GERD affects an estimated 20% of the population in the United States and can cause a range of uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms.
The most common symptoms of GERD include heartburn, a burning sensation in the chest that often occurs after eating or lying down, and regurgitation, which is the sensation of food or liquid coming back into the mouth.
Other symptoms of GERD can include:
GERD can be caused by several factors, including a weakened lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular ring that separates the esophagus from the stomach. When the LES is weakened or relaxes inappropriately, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation.
Other factors that can contribute to GERD include:
The diagnosis of GERD is typically based on the symptoms reported by the patient, as well as a physical exam and medical history. In some cases, additional tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis or to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
Treatment for GERD usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
Lifestyle changes may include:
Medications for GERD can include:
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat GERD, particularly if other treatments have been ineffective or if a hiatal hernia is causing the symptoms.

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
