Discover Relief from Achalasia at Mayo Clinic
When you come to Mayo Clinic to diagnose or manage your achalasia, you'll work with experienced gastroenterologists and thoracic surgeons who specialize in the treatment of this rare disorder.
Achalasia can be easily mistaken for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Specialists at Mayo Clinic are skilled in distinguishing achalasia from other digestive diseases and offer expertise in the latest treatment and surgical options. We will listen to your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan that alleviates your symptoms, reverses malnutrition and heals intestinal damage.
Nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatments are always considered first. If your condition requires surgery, our thoracic surgeons have extensive experience with minimally invasive procedures, including laparoscopic Heller myotomy and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). These approaches can mean a faster recovery time, shorter hospital stay and reduced pain.
Mayo Clinic in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Ariz. has been ranked the #1 hospital in Arizona for 11 consecutive years, and is top ranked in Pulmonology & Lung Surgery by U.S. News & World Report.
