Esophageal Disorders
We can diagnose and treat many types of esophageal disorders, from GERD and achalasia to tumors.
Food and liquids travel from your throat to your stomach through a tube called the esophagus.
Problems in your esophagus can range from mildly annoying conditions to serious diseases. If you have signs of an esophageal disorder, it’s important to seek medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can relieve symptoms and prevent long-term complications.
The thoracic surgeons at Memorial Healthcare System diagnose and treat every esophageal disorder, from simple to complex. We have extensive experience and advanced equipment to quickly and accurately diagnose your condition. We then create a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include medications, lifestyle counseling, swallowing therapy and surgical options.
