Patient discussion about Hiatus hernia.

Q. do you know of a good gastro doctor in staten island ny. I have acid refex so bad cant sleep, or lay flat.. years ago was told I had a hiatus hernia, and would only have fLare ups once in a while, have taken nexium for years, and it worked, but not anymore.. I really need to find a good doctor to test me again.

A. Try www.ucomparehealthcare.com/drs/new_york/gastroenterologists/Staten_Island.html for a directory of gastroenterologists in your area. This is only a website I've found - haven't tried it and I have no idea how good or reliable it is.

Take care,
