Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication is a minimally invasive form of anti-reflux surgery performed to restore the function of the lower esophageal sphincter.
Hiatal hernia is a condition in which part of the stomach slides through the hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm, and protrudes into the chest.

Dr Garay has an impeccable bedside manner. Very knowledgeable, and takes the time to make sure you know what to expect. As a nurse I am very picky on who I let my family see, and he has been one of the best physicians and an all around good person.
