Free Seminar on Heartburn and Acid Reflux, April 10, at Los Robles Hospital

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - April 3, 2014 - PRLog -- A free seminar on heartburn, acid reflux and Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) will be held Thursday April 10 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Los Robles Hospital. The seminar will be conducted by local gastroenterologists Dr. Gilbert Simoni and Dr. Kumar Desai and general surgeon Dr. Maggie Kademian.

Topics covered include GERD signs and symptoms, screening and treatment options for GERD and Barrett’s  Esophagus and common side effects from heartburn medications.

“Heartburn can develop into a serious illness and should be treated if the condition worsens,” says Dr. Simoni, the first and one of few doctors in the United States who provides a minimally invasive treatment for acid reflux and many of its manifestations using a process known as Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF). “Diet and health style changes and medications can be helpful in many cases, but when these don’t work, there are new, state-of-the-art procedures that resolve reflux issues immediately.”

The seminar will take place in Classroom 2 at Los Robles Hospital (215 W Janss Rd, Thousand Oaks). To reserve a seat, call 877-888-5746.
