For decades, I have suffered almost constantly from heartburn (technically called “acid reflux”). Often, I felt as though I was having a fire in my stomach or esophagus or even a heart attack. I slept with the upper half of my body at a 45-degree angle. Often, I would wake with burning pains and fail to drop back asleep. Life was really miserable.
I went to see numerous GI doctors including t...

As a kid growing up, starting at the age of 9 in 1980, I started to get this burning sensation in my chest and throat. I thought it was normal. I remember telling my Dad about it and he gave me Rolaids. Interestingly, he seemed always to have Rolaids on him. Thinking back, he probably suffered from recurring heartburn as well.
I would get heartburn at least twice a week, every week and this con...

I am 34 years old and had been dealing with heartburn for about 15 years before going to Dr. Tsai's heartburn clinic. Before seeing Dr. Tsai I had no idea that heartburn could cause cancer. For many years I had seen several Gastroenterologists that would prescribe me PPI’s for my heartburn and told me to change my lifestyle and I would be fine. Never did they ever mention once to me that it cou...

I wish to thank Dr. Wilson Tsai for changing my life!
I have been a GERD patient for about 10 years. My symptoms started as occasional heartburn and chest pain and steadily grew to an almost daily occurrence of moderate to severe pain and discomfort, especially over the last few years. This condition affected every aspect of my life. I could not travel easily since taking long trips in cars ...

Before I came to Dr. Tsai at his heart burn center I was extremely uncomfortable and in a lot of pain. Because of Dr. Tsai's expertise and knowledge he was able to diagnose my problem and informed me of all my treatment options. He made me feel extremely comfortable and safe in his care by taking his time to explain everything and answer all my questions. After he operated on me my quality of life...
