“I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Bell at Institute of Esophageal and Reflux Surgery after suffering with GERD for over 25 years and taking numerous PPIs that seemed to work only for a while. The staff at Dr. Bell’s office is so nice to work with. Kate is so knowledgeable and loves her work. My surgical options were clearly explained to me so I could make the best choice for me. I was at ease with my decision for surgery knowing I was in very experienced hands. Post op pain from my fundoplication was minimal. I mostly took Tylenol and used heat, although it did zap my energy for a bit! It is so nice to eat whatever I want and not have to take medications. My only regret is not knowing about Dr. Bell and this surgery years ago. Thanks again for your wonderful care.”
