Reflux Diagnostic Tests
Many of the patients we see in clinic have grown frustrated at being referred for tests only to experience extensive wait times or the results to be inconclusive. Our approach to diagnosing acid reflux is fundamentally different. We make it our mission to find the cause of your symptoms and to give you the certainty you need to make decisions about your future treatment.
When selecting RefluxUK you have the reassurance that any testing we recommend will be carried out by specialists in that field, and knowing that the test results will be reviewed by a team of experts before we present our findings and treatment options.
