Hello. I’m Dr David Johnson, professor of medicine and chief of gastroenterology at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia.
Barrett’s esophagus is something we all deal with in gastroenterology. Our primary care colleagues often refer patients to us for endoscopic screening. Depending on what we find, it can raise a host of questions about what to do next.
Dr Nicholas Shaheen and his colleagues on the expert consensus group put together the new American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines on the diagnosis and management of Barrett’s esophagus. This is a nearly 30-page tome that is full of evidence-based recommendations, which I suggest you read in full.
