New here - acupuncture? specialist in SF Bay Area?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here. My husband was diagnosed with Achalasia a few weeks ago after

struggling with pain and increasing difficulty swallowing/eating over the past

1.5 years.

I'm so glad to have found this group!

we just saw a surgeon today who is recommending Heller myotomy. We are both very

concerned about the risks associated with the surgery, and the likelihood it

won't resolve the condition. He really isn't sure he wants to do the surgery at

this point.

Does anyone know of an achalasia expert in the SF Bay Area or Northern Cal.?

Has anyone been helped by acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine? Hubby will try

that for the first time this week.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
