Constant Heartburn Treatment In Tampa, FL

You have read the pharmacy labels. You have skipped the spicy food. You have propped up pillows, avoided late dinners, and still woken up with that burning feeling. At Tampa Bay Reflux Institute, the first step is simple: we listen, we review, and we test. Then we explain your results in plain language, often with the hand-drawn diagrams patients tell us finally made everything click.

Reflux outcomes depend on more than one surgeon. They depend on a system. At Tampa Bay Reflux Institute, that system has been refined over more than fifteen years of focused foregut practice.

Dr. Grandhige trained at Johns Hopkins, the University of Michigan, and Yale, with specialized fellowships in foregut and minimally invasive surgery. He has performed reflux procedures since 2009 and limits his practice to the esophagus, diaphragm, and stomach. That specialization translates into pattern recognition, procedural flexibility, and confident decision-making.

A single, dedicated physician assistant assists with every surgery and participates in perioperative and postoperative care. Patients are never handed off to unfamiliar providers. When questions come up, the answers come from someone who was in the operating room with you.

Many of our medical assistants have been with the practice for more than a decade. They know reflux, they know the testing sequence, and they know how to guide you efficiently through the evaluation process.

All procedures are performed at HCA South Tampa Hospital, where the anesthesia team, nurses, and surgical technologists work with Dr. Grandhige routinely. Consistency here reduces operative time and improves recovery.

During office hours, you can reach a team member who understands your case. After hours, Dr. Grandhige himself is available for urgent concerns. That continuity reduces anxiety and often prevents unnecessary emergency room visits.

When patients compare experiences across specialists, what stands out is not any single credential. It is the consistency, continuity, and care that surround every visit.

Tampa Bay Reflux Institute is located at 1315 South Howard Avenue in the heart of South Tampa. Our office sits in a distinctive yellow brick building right next to Sally O’Neill’s Pizza, with convenient parking behind the restaurant.
