Clinician-led plan

A licensed clinician evaluates your symptoms and screens for red flags (weight loss, trouble swallowing, GI bleeding) before prescribing acid-suppressing therapy.

PPIs and H2 blockers

Same-day prescription for omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole, or famotidine when appropriate — sent to your pharmacy.

A real taper plan

Long-term PPI use isn't free of trade-offs. The clinician sets a plan with a clear endpoint, not an indefinite refill.

What you get

  • Telehealth visit with a licensed clinician
  • Prescription for a PPI or H2 blocker when indicated
  • Lifestyle and dietary plan in plain language
  • Follow-up and referral pathway if symptoms don't resolve

FAQs

Can GERD be treated online?

Yes — uncomplicated reflux without red flags is routinely managed by telehealth. The clinician screens for alarm features and refers for endoscopy when warranted.

What's the difference between a PPI and an H2 blocker?

PPIs (omeprazole, pantoprazole) suppress acid more strongly and are first-line for GERD; H2 blockers (famotidine) work faster and are useful for on-demand or breakthrough symptoms.

Will I be on a PPI forever?

Not necessarily. The clinician aims for the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration that controls your symptoms, with a step-down plan when appropriate.

Do you take insurance?

Yes. We bill your plan for the visit, and generic PPIs are inexpensive on virtually every formulary.
