This week, I visited with Anthony Loewen, MD, general surgeon at New Life Clinic, to discuss symptoms, causes and treatment plans for acid reflux, or GERD. Dr. Loewen discusses over the counter medications, lifestyle modifications, and the surgical procedures he regularly performs to help individuals live without the discomfort of GERD. You can learn more about acid reflux this month during National GERD Awareness Month at huronregional.org/acid-reflux.
