STRETTA

If you have been diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux, Dr. Danny Shouhed can provide solutions in Los Angeles. Using a minimally-invasive procedure known as STRETTA therapy, patients can find relief from uncomfortable and often painful symptoms of acid reflux.

Patients who rely on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may experience a reduced or eliminated need for the medication. Under sedation, Dr. Shouhed can perform STRETTA procedures to ease the symptoms of your acid reflux or GERD.

If you would prefer to avoid overusing medication or the prospect of surgery, STRETTA is a safe and effective alternative. There is a very low risk of complications following this treatment, when compared to many traditional approaches to treating acid reflux.

Reduce Reflux Medication Dependency

While STRETTA is used as a treatment that reduces or eliminates the symptoms of acid reflux, there are other benefits for patients. Reliance on medications to control acid reflux can impact your personal and professional life. STRETTA can remain effective for up to ten years, according to clinical research.

The effectiveness of STRETTA may depend on several existing health factors. Patients suffering from a large hiatal hernia, severe esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus may need alternative treatment options. Dr. Shouhed can confirm whether you are a suitable candidate for this treatment at his Los Angeles offices.

You can expect to see improved quality of life after STRETTA therapy for acid reflux. Occurrences of heartburn, esophagitis and esophageal acid are reduced in patients who are ideal candidates for the treatment. If your gastroenterological condition is too complex to treat with STRETTA therapy, Dr. Shouhed can offer alternative treatment options.
