You’ve probably experienced occasional heartburn after a heavy meal. But chronic acid reflux can point to a more serious issue.
At Las Vegas Gastroenterology, we help patients in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada, find lasting relief. We have been serving southern Nevada since 2009.
Our board-certified gastroenterologists, Dr. Noel R. Fajardo and Dr. Filippo Cremonini, specialize in diagnosing and treating complex digestive conditions. If your symptoms persist, it may be time to see a specialist for an upper endoscopy or other advanced evaluations.
See a specialist immediately if you experience symptoms that suggest structural damage. You should have an upper endoscopy as soon as feasible. Please contact us right away if you experience:
At Las Vegas Gastroenterology, we prioritize these urgent evaluations. Our gastroenterologists trained at prestigious institutions like Mayo Clinic and Harvard Medical School. We use advanced diagnostic tools to look inside your digestive tract and find the root cause quickly.
If daily antacids do not relieve your heartburn, your symptoms may not be the result of acid reflux. In fact, up to half of patients with suspected GERD don’t benefit from acid suppression. Overly sensitive nerves in the esophagus can mimic the burning sensation of acid reflux.
We offer specialized testing at our GI motility clinic to evaluate how your digestive system functions. This helps us determine if a nerve-related issue or motility disorder is causing your discomfort. We tailor our treatment plans to your unique anatomy and health history.
We use objective testing, such as pH monitoring, to measure the actual acid levels in your esophagus. Patients with persistent, unproven symptoms should undergo wireless or catheter-based pH monitoring off medication. This test tracks reflux events over several days to confirm a precise diagnosis.
We use these advanced, temporary monitoring devices to build a personalized treatment plan. We also offer other advanced procedures, such as capsule endoscopy, to look into your digestive tract. We ensure you only take the medications you truly need.
Don’t let chronic heartburn control your daily life. If you are ready for expert answers, schedule a virtual visit with our team at one of our two Las Vegas locations today.
