Prevent Reflux with a GERD-friendly Thanksgiving Diet
Thanksgiving is probably the most anticipated meal of the year, but it can cause discomfort for people who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.
Why Choose Us?
Our gastroenterologists and staff at Chattanooga Endoscopy Center are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the community in our quest to lower colon cancer rates and treat an array of digestive diseases, including Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.

Really didn't want to have the procedure. Fasted, drank the meds and lots of water as directed. Once I was put out, had the procedure, I was awake in less than an hour. Dr. Camille Sommer, anestologist and staff were great!

A very caring staff they were concerned about my comfort and needs. Dr. Bosshardt explained the procedure, the anesthesiologist explained his process.
