For diseases of the stomach and/or esophagus, a general surgeon can perform the surgery if recommended. These conditions might be one of the following:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Barrett’s esophagus
• Esophageal motility disorders
• Esophageal cancer
• Gastric cancer

General surgeons use techniques like minimally invasive surgery and laparoscopic surgery so that the patient will have the best recovery time possible. Our surgeons also have specialty training and experience beyond the standard.
