Heartburn treatment center

Find relief from heartburn and GERD at Wisconsin’s first heartburn treatment center.

Heartburn is a symptom of GERD and treatment is essential, not only for comfort and quality of life, but also for future health concerns which could result from GERD, such as Barret’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. 

Nearly everyone has suffered from occasional heartburn after a spicy meal or during times of stress. If you suffer from painful burning, regurgitation and the discomfort of heartburn, on a weekly or daily basis, you may be suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

Some people choose to self-medicate with over-the-counter antacids and acid-reducing medication; others see a physician who may treat the symptoms with prescription medications for GERD. Did you know since other conditions mimic GERD symptoms, it can be challenging to correctly diagnose GERD? Some of these people may not actually have the disease. In addition, some people do not receive relief from medications or experience side effects. The Prevea Heartburn Treatment Center properly addresses these individuals’ specialized needs.

At the Prevea Heartburn Treatment Center, a specially trained patient coordinator, physicians and dedicated nurses, will thoroughly discuss your symptoms with you, including some you may not know are associated with GERD. You will receive information about lifestyle and treatment options based on the latest research.
