DISEASES TREATED BY DR. CHIASSON

Dr. Chiasson treats a number of digestive diseases, each with a minimally invasive technique that lends to faster recovery and less scar tissue. Each of the digestive disorders shown below are serious conditions and requires immediate attention. Understanding there is a period of time to educate oneself prior to taking the leap and setting an appointment we want to provide you with as much useful information as possible. Click on the conditions below to learn even more.

new version Gastroparesis GASTROPARESIS
Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a medical condition consisting of a paresis (partial paralysis) of the stomach, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer period of time than normal in the absence of obstruction. Click to learn more Barrett's Esophagus Click to learn more BARRETT'S ESOPHAGUS
Barrett’s esophagus is a condition affecting the lining of the esophagus the swallowing tube that carries foods and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. Barrett’s esophagus is caused by injury to the esophagus from the chronic backwash of stomach contents (like acid and enzymes) that occurs with acid reflux. There are no symptoms specific to Barrett’s esophagus, other than the typical symptoms of acid reflux (or GERD). barretts esophagus Achalasia Achalasia Click to learn more ACHALASIA
Achalasia occurs when the food tube (esophagus) loses the ability to squeeze food down, and the muscular valve between the esophagus and stomach doesn’t fully relax. The reason for these problems is damage to the nerves in the esophagus. There is no cure, but Achalasia symptoms can usually be managed with minimally invasive (endoscopic) therapy or surgery. Esophageal Cancer ESOPHAGEAL CANCER
Esophageal cancer is a serious form of cancer that develops in the esophagus, the long tube that connects the back of your mouth with your stomach. The most common types of esophageal cancer are adenocarcinoma, which starts in the glandular cells producing fluids such as mucus, and squamous cell carcinoma, which starts in flat cells of the esophageal lining. Click to learn more Stomach Cancer Click to learn more STOMACH CANCER
The stomach is an organ between the esophagus and small intestine. It is where digestion of protein begins. The stomach has three tasks. It stores swallowed food. It mixes the food with stomach acids. Then it sends the mixture on to the small intestine. Stomach cancer can begin in cells in the inner layer of the stomach (Adenocarcinoma), or from the middle layer of the stomach wall (GIST tumor), or from the lymph supply of the stomach (Lymphoma). Hiatal Hernia HIATAL HERNIA
Any time an internal body part pushes into an area where it doesn’t belong, it’s called a hernia. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm – the muscular wall separating the chest cavity from the abdomen. Normally, the esophagus goes through the hiatus and attaches to the stomach. In a hiatal hernia, the stomach bulges up into the chest through that opening. Click to learn more Obesity / Diabetes DIABETES / OBESITY
Today, 8% of all adults suffer from Adult Onset Diabetes or Type II Diabetes. It is projected that by the year 2030, more than 25% of all adults will have diabetes. There is a direct relationship between the development of diabetes and obesity as 90% of patients with diabetes have at least Class I obesity (>50 lbs overweight). To date, the only truly successful strategy to address this problem for individuals is Bariatric Surgery. Click to learn more GERD / LPR Click to learn more GERD & LPR
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease that occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, bile flows back (refluxes) into your food pipe (esophagus). The backwash of acid irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD signs and symptoms that are generally referred to as heartburn or reflux. In addition to heartburn symptoms, severe GERD can also cause problems with worsening asthma, recurrent pneumonia, or chronic laryngitis.

Dr. Chiasson, I wanted to let you know how happy I am with my outpatient vertical sleeve surgery. You changed my life, for the better! Everyone I encountered was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Both you and your staff took the extra time with me to answer all my questions and to make sure I had everything I needed.

I don’t know if there are enough words to Thank Dr. Patrick Chiasson sufficiently for how much he has done for me! I have suffered from severe Gastric Gastroparesis for over 5 years. Before moving to Arizona a year ago, I sought help from 7 GI specialists in Chicago, made 2 trips to the Mayo Clinic, had more than 16 feeding tube replacements, and dozens of tests and procedures. I also suffer from extreme POTS…

Richard C. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) for many years and achieving only short-term relief from a variety of medications, I realized that I needed to find a permanent cure for my illness and help me to regain a normal, functional lifestyle. I checked the Internet for area surgeons that specialized in GERD-related issues and, after thoroughly vetting each of the doctors listed, made an appointment to meet with Dr. Patrick Chiasson. During my initial…

I want to thank Dr. Chiasson for giving me a second chance in life. I would not be able to handle being over 400 lbs. I had surgery Nov.12, 2014 and currently down a total of 190 lbs. I was asked to speak at a national weight loss surgery conference a couple of weeks ago and never thought that I would stand up in front of a crowd of people from across the county and…

Dr. Chiasson was part of the team that literally saved my life when I was diagnosed with cancer of the gastric/esophageal junction. His surgery was nothing short of miraculous. There are no signs of cancer and I am now having follow-up chemo and radiation therapy. I have a very well-founded hope of complete and long-lasting recovery. I’ve been told that this particular surgery if done in the traditional manner, requires at least two to three…

I had a Gastric Sleeve surgery in December 2014. Dr. Chiasson and his team provided outstanding care prior to the surgery, on the day of the surgery, and for the last year and a half. Everyone has been highly professional and caring. My surgery has been a success and I appreciate the continued support offered by his team as I continue to live my new healthy life. Thank you, Dr. Chiasson, for being there when…

“I had laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in 2004 performed by Dr. Chiasson and it was the best medical experience for me. I have kept the weight off after 10 years and have not had a re-occurrence of high blood pressure nor diabetes. If you decide bariatric surgery is for you, I would recommend having your gall gladder removed at the same time, as this was the only complication from the initial surgery. The only malabsorption…

Megan R. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Prior to attending the informational seminar about weight loss surgery, I was unaware that gastric surgery could be done with a single incision. After learning that indeed it can be done if one meets certain size requirements, I was still ambivalent about having one or many incisions because I knew that for vanity reasons, I wouldn’t be showing off my scars either way. When Dr. Chiasson approached me with the option of doing the spider…
