Acid Reflux & GERD care in The Springs, done properly.
The Springs 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.
Why The Springs patients choose Aafiyah
The Springs is a community where people tend to stay for years, build relationships with their neighbours, and want the same from their healthcare — which is exactly what Aafiyah offers. Instead of a different face every visit, families across The Springs have access to one named GP, home visits when needed, and a free 15-minute call if you're not sure whether a visit is necessary. Whether it's a child running a fever, blood tests for the whole family, or ongoing support for an elderly relative living with you, our team is built around getting to know you — not just treating the symptom in front of us.

FAQs from The Springs 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 The Springs?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in The Springs, 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.
