Reflux Center: GERD & Hiatal Hernia Treatment in Florida

Expertise in GERD and Hiatal Hernia Care

With more than 25 years of experience treating esophageal reflux, silent reflux, laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), and hiatal hernia symptoms, our team at New Life Surgical Associates is a trusted leader in acid reflux treatment. Dr. Sharma, a pioneer in minimally invasive techniques, has performed thousands of hiatal hernia repairs and reflux surgeries, helping patients overcome persistent heartburn, acid indigestion, reflux esophagitis, and Barrett’s esophagus. Our trained staff, including medical assistants, nurses, and a dedicated dietitian, ensures comprehensive support for conditions like GERD, esophagitis, and acid regurgitation.

Whether you’re struggling with nighttime acid reflux, esophageal damage, or stomach acid issues, our multidisciplinary approach combines cutting-edge diagnostics, GERD medications, acid reflux diet guidance, and GERD lifestyle changes to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Importantly, 70-80% of our patients find relief without surgery, thanks to our non-surgical options and expert care.

Comprehensive Solutions for Reflux and Hiatal Hernia

At the Reflux Center, we address a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Chronic heartburn, acid regurgitation, and GERD symptoms can disrupt your life. We offer effective GERD management strategies to alleviate discomfort.
  • Hiatal Hernia: Our expertise in hiatal hernia treatment and hiatal hernia surgery addresses symptoms like acidity and chronic heartburn, restoring digestive function.
  • Silent Reflux (LPR): We treat laryngopharyngeal reflux, which may cause throat irritation without obvious heartburn.
  • Barrett’s Esophagus: A serious complication of GERD, we monitor and manage this condition to prevent further esophageal damage.
  • Reflux Esophagitis: Inflammation caused by stomach acid is treated with precision to promote healing.

All surgical procedures, when necessary, are performed laparoscopically, ensuring smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Our narcotic-free pain management using TAP Block, pioneered by Dr. Sharma, minimizes discomfort and eliminates the need for opioids, allowing most patients to return home the same day.

Non-Surgical Options: Most Patients Don’t Need Surgery

We understand that surgery isn’t always the answer. At the Reflux Center, 70-80% of patients achieve relief through non-surgical treatments, including:

  • GERD Medications: Prescription and over-the-counter options to reduce stomach acid and control GERD symptoms.
  • Acid Reflux Diet: Our dedicated dietitian, Jana, RDN, designs personalized nutrition plans to minimize acidity and support GERD and diet control.
  • GERD Lifestyle Changes: Guidance on weight management, posture, and meal timing to reduce nighttime acid reflux and persistent heartburn.
  • Nutritional Counseling: Ongoing support to address upper digestive disorders and promote long-term wellness.
