GERD/Reflux

Read a great patient success story in our local news!  This patient could enjoy Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in years without worrying about heartburn and acid reflux, thanks to Dr. Bowen and the new procedure in Danville!

Provena United Samaritans is pleased to be the first hospital in East Central Illinois to offer an effective, incisionless solution for GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

William Bowen, MD, general surgeon with the Danville Polyclinic, is now performing the TIF procedure at Provena United Samaritans in Danville.

If you are one of the thousands of people who suffer from chronic heartburn and a host of other symptoms, TIF may be the ideal solution for you to end the cycle of medication and pain related to GERD. 

The new incisionless EsophyX TIF® procedure surgically reconstructs the natural valve that stops acid from coming up. The device is introduced into the body through the mouth, not through an incision. It offers less pain,less risk, no scar, and most patients can get back to work and most normal activities in only a couple of days.

As with any medical procedure or treatment, always talk to your doctor to make sure this procedure is right for you.

To make an appointment for consultation with Dr. Bowen, contact his office at 217.477.4734. And begin living life on your terms!
