Back to the nypdigestive.org Home Page

NewYork-Presbyterian's gastrointestinal specialists and surgeons treat a range of esophageal diseases. These are diseases that may affect the esophagus such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal cancer. The esophagus is the muscular tube that connects the throat with the stomach.

The multidisciplinary care provided at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital can help improve quality of life in people with these conditions, many of whom can be treated in the outpatient setting.

Each esophageal disease has its own group of symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. Please choose a specific disease for more information.
