We have a great show for you today which will provide all of the answers you have come to expect from The Word on Medicine.

Our medical experts, Drs. Jon Gould, Andrew Kastenmeier and Patrick Sanvanson are joined by a patient to discuss the signs and symptoms, diagnosis, medical and surgical therapies of GERD.

In case you missed it: Click here for our replay of last week's program on Autism Spectrum Disorder – a diagnosis which is more common than you would think and poorly understood. Our medical experts were joined by three very generous parents who shared their personal stories of how autism was diagnosed in their children and how this has changed their lives. This is one of the most important programs produced by The Word on Medicine – you will want to listen to this show.
