Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Severe GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition in which stomach acid and contents flow back into the oesophagus frequently enough to cause persistent symptoms, visible lining damage, or both. It is distinguished from everyday reflux by the presence of daily or near-daily heartburn, regurgitation, erosive injury to the oesophageal lining, or complications such as Barrett's oesophagus. Treatment is built in layers: most patients start with optimised acid-suppressing medication and lifestyle changes, while those who remain symptomatic or have a significant anatomical problem such as a hiatal hernia may be candidates for endoscopic therapy or anti-reflux surgery. Choosing the right approach depends on objective testing — endoscopy, pH monitoring, and oesophageal manometry — rather than symptoms alone, making specialist evaluation an essential first step for international patients seeking definitive care.
Daily acid-suppressing medication — proton pump inhibitors, sometimes combined with other agents — adjusted to the strongest effective dose, forming the foundation of severe GERD care for most patients.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,000
Typical tests: Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy if indicated, 24-hour ambulatory pH monitoring or wireless pH capsule study, High-resolution oesophageal manometry, Impedance-pH testing (if non-acid reflux suspected), CBC, blood sugar, kidney function, and liver function panel, Barium swallow (if large hiatal hernia or stricture suspected). Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $2,500
Treatment duration in India: ~7 days (~3 hospital visit days across the full span)
A camera-guided procedure done through the mouth — no skin incisions — that reshapes or tightens the junction between the stomach and oesophagus to reduce reflux, suitable for patients without a large hiatal hernia.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,000
Typical tests: Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy if indicated, High-resolution oesophageal manometry, 24-hour ambulatory pH or impedance-pH monitoring, CBC, coagulation profile (PT/INR), Blood sugar, kidney function, liver function panel, ECG and anaesthesia fitness evaluation, Chest X-ray. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $3,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3 days recommended
Total stay: approx 6 days
Keyhole surgery that wraps the top of the stomach around the lower oesophagus to create a durable one-way valve, the gold standard for patients with proven severe GERD or a significant hiatal hernia.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $7,500

A laparoscopic procedure that places a small bracelet of magnetic beads around the lower oesophagus to keep it closed against reflux while still allowing food to pass through when swallowing.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,000
Typical tests: Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy if indicated, High-resolution oesophageal manometry (essential before LINX), 24-hour ambulatory pH or impedance-pH monitoring, Barium swallow to assess hiatal hernia size, CBC, coagulation profile (PT/INR), Blood sugar, kidney function, liver function panel, ECG and chest X-ray for anaesthesia clearance. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $6,000 – $8,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended
Total stay: approx 11 days
