Gastroesophageal reflux disease

PREVIEW

This is the first in a series of short articles on management of common complaints primary care physicians encounter in the office setting. Written by members of POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE'S Editorial Council, these articles offer a personal perspective gleaned from hands-on experience plus review of the literature. Here, Dr Larsen looks at gastroesophageal reflux disease. His article includes not only a succinct summary of the current standard of care, but also a flowchart of the patient workup and an information sheet that can be copied for patients.
