Acid Reflux & GERD care in DIFC, done properly.
DIFC residents living with acid reflux & gerd deserve more than a 6-minute slot and a prescription. Heartburn, regurgitation, chronic cough or a lump in the throat — most reflux can be controlled without a lifetime of PPIs. We investigate H. pylori, adjust treatment properly and refer for endoscopy when needed.

FAQs from DIFC patients
Should I be on a PPI long-term?
+
Not necessarily. Many patients can step down or stop with the right lifestyle work and H. pylori eradication. We review properly rather than just repeat the prescription.
When do you refer for endoscopy?
+
Alarm symptoms (weight loss, swallowing difficulty, anaemia, persistent vomiting, or failure to respond to 8 weeks of treatment in patients over 55) trigger a same-week gastroenterology referral.
Can you visit my home in DIFC?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in DIFC, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for acid reflux & gerd are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
