If you’re dealing with GERD, a range of specialists can help you find relief. Here’s a quick guide to the experts and departments involved in treating this common condition:

1. Gastroenterologist: The primary specialist for GERD, gastroenterologists focus on digestive disorders and can offer comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and management.

2. Internal Medicine Specialist: Often the first point of contact, these doctors can evaluate GERD symptoms, provide initial treatment, and refer you to a gastroenterologist if needed.

3. Surgeon: For severe cases that require surgical intervention, such as hiatal hernia repair or fundoplication, a surgeon specialising in gastrointestinal or laparoscopic surgery will be involved.
