Patient Reviews
Apr 29, 2024
Dr Kahrilas’ rating is skewed because 3 of the 1 star ratings are being counted twice. Read through the reviews and you can easily see the error. I have been a patient of Dr K’s for 30 years. I thought I had something stuck in my throat. What I was feeling was actually esophageal tissue that had been badly burned due to GERD caused by a large hiatal hernia. Fortunately, medication and diet have helped keep the reflux from doing further damage. When I was first prescribed omeprazole, it was not available over the counter. I was afraid to take the medicine for fear it would get stuck in my throat. I walked into Dr K’s office without an appointment and explained my fear. Dr K was in the office, but eating lunch. He asked the nurse to bring me into his office and while eating his lunch, he explained that taking the pill with a big gulp of water would help me easily swallow the pill. It worked! He was and still is a genuinely kind man. After 30 years I would not consider seeing anyone else
