Surgery for Hiatal Hernia: What You Need to Know

Dr. Vikki Petersen warns that Hiatal Hernia surgery may not deliver the promised results. A 2001 JAMA study found that 62% of post-surgery patients still needed antacids regularly, and the procedure didn’t prevent esophageal damage.

Dr. Petersen recommends exploring natural alternatives to surgery, focusing on identifying and addressing the root cause of reflux. This approach can help patients avoid medication and surgery, promoting long-term healing and relief. Call 727-335-0400 for a consultation to discuss options.
