I have been having GERD so often that I bumped myself up to 40 mg Nexium twice a day. I have a hiatal hernia, abdominal discomfort, chronic constipation, A GI doctor told me I have IBS and non alcoholic fatty liver with no fibrosis. He wanted to do a Nissan fundoplication on me, and I asked him how many he had performed. The answer was three! I left and never went back. I want to go to Mayo in Rochester to really find out what is going on, and possibly have the linx procedure, so I can go off of the Nexium. Is there anyone in particular that people would recommend for a GI at Mayo Rochester?

Hi @gallbladderless, welcome. At Mayo Clinic, our team approach means that you'll never have to search for answers alone. Your Mayo Clinic team will be hand-picked according to your unique needs. It will likely include specialists within and across departments to evaluate your condition from fresh perspectives. For that reason, you will not need a specific doctor referral.

In the gastroenterology department, doctors and dietitians work closely with you to help you and specialists at Mayo Clinic work together to give you the expertise needed to work with your signs and symptoms. Your team has access to more than 4,700 Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists on three campuses. If there's a question, alternate ideas and emerging research are just a phone call — or hallway — away.

You can self refer by contacting Mayo Clinic online or by phone. Here's the contact information http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
