Donna's Achalasia Story

Donna had experienced chest pain, spasms while eating, and trouble swallowing for years. Having being diagnosed with achalasia (a disorder of the esophagus that makes it difficult to swallow food and liquids), Donna received a new minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Christopher Reising called Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM). Donna recovered quickly and is back to living the life she loves, and eating when and where she wants without issues. If you or a loved one are experiencing issues swallowing foods, contact your primary care provider and request a referral to our General Surgery clinic at [phone] for testing.
