When telehealth may be appropriate

Telehealth may be a good fit for adults with typical non-severe reflux symptoms or who are already managing GERD and need follow-up. Some symptoms require in-person evaluation, testing, or specialist referral.

When to seek urgent or in-person care instead

Seek urgent or emergency care right away if you have:
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Pain spreading to the arm, jaw, shoulder, or back
  • Vomiting blood
  • Black or tarry stools
  • Severe difficulty swallowing
  • Unexplained weight loss

Telehealth is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or for mental health crises call or text 988.

What treatment may include

Care may include lifestyle and habit review, medication management, and decisions about whether additional testing or referral is appropriate. Chest pain should not be assumed to be reflux and should be evaluated in person.

Pricing

This service is cash pay. Current pricing is shown in the patient portal at booking, where it is always up to date. We can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement on request.

Can GERD be treated through telehealth?
