Guest guest Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Good morning how is everyone? I am fairly new to the support group, I joined last month but I just now decided to narrow the group down to my area. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and I am looking for a really good doctor for my son who has achalasia. He is 15 years old and was diagnosed 5 years ago and so far no real success that I am happy about. He has had 16 EDG's over the past 5 years which means he has the procedure every 3-6 months as needed. The physician at Children's in Dallas has hit a brick wall with treatment options due to his age and he doesnt want to take any risk just to keep repeating the same thing over and over. I have researched the Heller Myotomy, Does anyone think it would be helpful for my son? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
