Our Approach to LINX®

For many people, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs often and causes unpleasant symptoms, including frequent heartburn. Stanford offers the LINX® system, a special magnetic device that your doctor places around the outside of your esophagus. The device offers long-term symptom management for people living with GERD.

We are one of a handful of health care facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area offering treatment with the LINX® reflux management system. Our doctors use a minimally invasive procedure to implant the device, which helps prevent GERD while allowing you to eat and drink as you normally do.

What We Offer You for LINX®

  • Expert care from doctors who are among the first in the San Francisco Bay Area to offer LINX® as an effective, long-term treatment for managing the symptoms of GERD.
  • Minimally invasive approach to implant the LINX® device, using a laparoscopic procedure that helps prevent certain complications, decreases pain levels, and speeds up recovery time.
  • Team-based care using input from doctors in several gastrointestinal specialties, including surgery, to provide you with the information you need to make the best decisions about your health.
