The esophageal surgeons of The Oregon Clinic are internationally recognized as providers of the most advanced and comprehensive care of all aspects of esophageal and gastric diseases. We specialize in advanced minimally-invasive treatments of foregut diseases including the diagnosis and definitive care of a wide variety of disorders such as reflux disease, swallowing disorders, hiatal hernias, premalignant conditions, and cancer. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated by our superior outcomes, continuous quality assessment, high patient satisfaction, and more than 300 peer-reviewed publications.

Patients suffering from disorders of the upper GI tract, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), trouble swallowing, or dyspepsia look to their primary care providers for relief and advice. At the same time, the diagnosis and management of these problems become increasingly complicated, considering the spectrum extends from minor complaints to chronic debilitating conditions. As treatment pathways become more complex, physicians and patients suffer from inconsistent and fragmented information.
