What Is Acid Reflux?
Struggling with frequent heartburn or a sour taste in your mouth? These may be acid reflux symptoms, a condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. At Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates, our practice helps patients identify and manage acid reflux causes, which can include overeating, obesity, certain trigger foods, or a weakened lower esophageal sphincter. If left untreated, acid reflux can progress into gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or lead to dysphagia, which is difficulty swallowing. If you're experiencing chest discomfort, regurgitation, or a chronic sore throat, connect with our team in Rochester Hills, MI to learn more about diagnosis and treatment options.
How Is Acid Reflux Diagnosed?
Patients experiencing frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, or other symptoms of GERD may need a thorough evaluation to confirm whether acid reflux is the underlying issue. To diagnose the condition, specialists at Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates may recommend an upper endoscopy, pH monitoring, or esophageal manometry, tests designed to assess acid levels and esophageal function. These tools help determine the severity of reflux and rule out complications, like dysphagia. Based on the results, personalized acid reflux treatments may include lifestyle changes, medications, or advanced therapies to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Our team is committed to helping patients explore the best options for long-term relief.

Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates Reviews
I recently had both a gastroscopy and colonoscopy done by Dr. Ghiath Tayeb and was incredibly impressed. From the initial consultation to the procedures themselves, everything was smooth, professional, and comfortable. Dr. Tayeb explained everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. I was amazed by how quick and painless the procedures were—I didn’t feel a thing! What stood out most was the calm, reassuring environment he and his team created. I left feeling informed, cared for, and grateful. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate GI doctor, Dr. Tayeb is the best.
Dr. Reem Jarbou, D.O., is a member of the Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates medical practice. I have basically experienced gastrointestinal issues all of my adult life. And, I have been treated by some very good professionals. None, however, have displayed the high level of professionalism, care, and concern as consistently shown by Dr. Jarbou and her staff. For which I am most grateful. I have recommended Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates - without any hesitation - to friends requiring services of that nature. In response, I have been told their experience was equally as positive.William T.,Oxford,Michigan
One of the best Doctors to have. Ty for the great care.
Dr Farshadsefat is a great physician. Very respectful and genuinely caring physician who listens to patients and attends to their needs promptly. Very knowledgeable and skilled physician and goes above and beyond to care for his patients. He answers all inquiries and messages promptly and follows up.
I first met Dr. Seina when I was admitted in the hospital after struggling for two years with GI issues that had been undiagnosed. I immediately switched to him and couldn’t rave about his bedside manner and knowledge more. He listens, is prompt with his follow-up and thankfully got me on the right care plan. Highly recommend.
