We have many treatment options for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD occurs when the stomach contents leak backward into the esophagus causing irritation, heartburn and other symptoms. After an evaluation, a surgeon will consult with you on which treatment option may be best.
Reflux Treatment Program
We specialize in offering a full treatment program for reflux. Our patient education videos outline what to expect from the program and how to recover after your procedure.
This is the most common procedure to treating GERD, especially if patients do not respond well to lifestyle changes or medications or do not wish to continually require medications to control their symptoms. Surgery is very effective in treating GERD. This procedure creates a "one-way valve" to prevent acid reflux.
LINX Procedure
This procedure prevents acid reflux by placing a small band of flexible magnets (about the size of a quarter) around the weak esophageal sphincter. The magnets open and close when a patient swallows to allow good and liquid into the stomach. Patients generally return home within one day.
TIF Procedure
This procedure treats GERD at its source. The incisionless approach rebuilds an antireflux valve to restore the body’s natural protection against acid reflux. There are no scars, minimizing complications and possibly leading to a quicker recovery.
High-Risk Breast Cancer Clinic
The Lexington Health high-risk breast clinic provides specialized support for women facing an elevated chance of developing breast cancer.
This program includes an in-depth risk assessment for women who score high on questionnaires given prior to mammograms. These surveys ask about various topics, including family history, genetics and reproductive factors.
Colo-Rectal Treatments
We treat conditions, such as:
Diverticulitis — Small pouches in the wall of the large intestine become inflamed or infected.
Colitis/Ulcerative Colitis — An inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Conditions
Fistulas, Fissures and Hemorrhoids
Sigmoid Colectomy Procedure
This is a procedure where we remove the last section of the colon, due to disease or damage. Our patient education videos outline what to expect before, during and after your procedure.
My doctor is not only professional and thorough in her explanation of my issues but excellent in trying to fix the issues. I’m beyond impressed with the care the time and effort she puts into me as a patient
Dr. Barwick is a awesome dr. And very concerned about his patients. thank you Dr. Barwick for the care you gave me to remove the cancer from my breast. my family was also greatful for your care.
I love Dr. white and his staff. He has excellent bedside manner. He really cares about his patients and their lives. I’m so glad my friend recommended him to me and I will recommend him to others if needed. He has changed my life by doing my surgery when three other doctors turned me down. Thank you so much for caring and helping me. Every day is a better day now for me. Breathing better and walking better. Thank you and bless you and your staff.
The consults with Dr. Craft are always informative, comprehensive and respectful. Usually he answers the questions I have on my list before I ask them. And he summarizes possibilities I did not know existed always providing elaboration if I ask. Finally, before I leave the appointment I have a clear understanding of the next step.
He explained everything- I walked out of the appointment thinking he should teach school because he explained everything in an easy to understand but still accurate way. He made it simple, and he was patient and answered our questions. I have full confidence in him!
I regard Dr. Jakubs very highly. He is a skilled, kind and thorough physician. I am grateful to have found him. I would recommend Dr. Jakubs to anyone that needs his services.
Dr. Price was great to see! Very kind and welcoming, non-judgmental, and explained everything well. The visit felt slightly rushed and that I didn’t have quite enough time to explain ALL of my symptoms, but I realize that doctors are busy and appointment times are limited.
The main feedback I have is that I would rather the doctor come in and meet me/discuss things initially before I get undressed for an exam. I realize it may be a little bit inefficient but it would go a long way in feeling less vulnerable and more comfortable.
The care I received for colon cancer surgery was excellent. Before surgery was informed by Surgeon exactly what he would do and what I could expect during recovery. Very pleased with the procedure and outcome.
My Care Team was Amazing. My Nurses, My doctors Dr. Scott and others. I was nervous as I usually am when it comes to surgery and sedation but that all changed as my team took care of me. Thanks to every one. May God bless You all.
This provider stepped into a medical care storm and tried to help me when other providers decided it was the weekend and time to go home. This provider I am positive tried to help me in every way possible.
I love Dr Jakubs, his nurse, and the rest of his staff. I know he is very busy, but I do not mind waiting. He always gives me the individual attention I need and doesn't make me feel like he's rushing to the next patient to honor some time constraint.
Dr. Jakub and his team were phenomenal. They were courteous and professional. Dr. Jakub was thorough in his assessment and explained my condition in a manner that was easily understood. I would highly recommend Dr. Jakub to others in need of this type of medical attention.
Dr. Scott was very professional and down to earth. She eased my concerns and explained my surgery process. I feel very comfortable with her as my surgeon!
Dr. Libbey performed surgery on me for a similar diagnosis. He agreed to meet with me. Not only did he discuss a possible second surgery, but he remembered all the details from the surgery. He is professional, likable, and compassionate. I will always have 100% trust in the care he provides me.
Dr Craft has taken care of my issues with hernias and I must say he explains everything wonderfully
I trust him with all my issues
Thank you for being so patient and so thorough
Thank you De Craft
Dr. Jakubs was understanding and helped me understand why I was experiencing certain things. He was calm and knowledgable, explaining things in a way I could understand.
Dr Libby and staff are the best. I come from Hartsville to see him and other Drs. Lexington Medical is a top notch facility. Thankful we have such a wonderful facility is SC.
Lexington surgery was great. They gave great recommendations. They were just awesome altogether. I will be going back for surgery for hernia repair and I’m very glad they are my surgeon.
The visit was pleasant, my Physician was very concerned BUT couldn’t really Speak on my Heath Issue of why l was there because my Referring Physician didn’t send in nothing more than her notes so I’m hoping the Physician get the needed info asap from Self Hospital which is where they will be coming from. It seemed a very useless visit but I was so glad to meet the referred Physician he’s very nice. Thanks!
I can't thank Dr. Scott and the team at Lexington Medical Center enough for the outstanding care I received. From the moment of my surgery through every step of my recovery, Dr. Scott was attentive, compassionate, and highly skilled. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Her dedication to her patients truly shows, and I am incredibly grateful for the excellent outcome and support I experienced. I highly recommend Dr. Scott to anyone in need of expert surgical care!
I was very pleased! I couldn’t be happier. The doctor and staff are very nice and friendly. A friend of mine suggested that I come here and I am so glad she did.
I was recently diagnosed with [...] and I chose the Dr. At Lexington Surgery because of the outstanding care she provides to her patients, She made me feel very comfortable and was at all embarrassed or ashamed of my diagnosis,Great bedside manner,and looking forward to seeing her and in the morning for surgery and a follow up procedure that she already set up for me ,All the staff were very nice and helpful
As I usually experience with Lexington, everyone was nice from the desk receptionist, nurse practitioner and finally the surgical Doctor. Time will tell if we chose the right path for healing with limited pain.
I have never been treated so good as I was by all the staff here. Everyone did everything to make not only me, but also my family, comfortable, informed, and satisfied with my treatment. Never have I experience such professional skills.
I trust and rely everything to my dr that he will give his best to care for me, and he did! I highly will recommend him to someone who might need help..
Dr.Antonetti is very outstanding, he was explain and even draw you pictures so that you will know what he is doing. The staff is so professional and pleasant. Great job!
I think the best plan for me was pretty much discussed and determined by my oncologist and this oncology surgeon beforehand with my best interest at heart. I trust their judgment. I’ve been a poster child for my oncologist’s treatments. We’d like to keep that up!
Dr. Craft was very thorough. I really appreciated his attention to detail. He took his time with me and explained everything. I felt completely comfortable. He treated me like I was his only patient.
They were all very attentive and was truly a blessing. Dr. Libby is one of the best. I have a lot of respect for him. He has seen me through a few major surgeries. Thank you and. Be blessed
This was some of the best care I have experienced in my 72 years of being a patient. Discussed all my questions. And explain what was going to be happening.
This was a first time surgery for me. Dr. Myatich and the entire staff at the surgery center made me feel at ease and treated me like gold ! I couldn’t ask for a better team. My thanks to all !!
Doctor very thorough with examination & explanations. Very good bed-side manner. I was very happy with the care I received, and will return if have any further issues.
Dr Ostapoff was excellent!! She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything so that I could understand. All questions were answered professionally and was reassuring after the 6 week emotional roller coaster that I have been on. You need more caring doctors like her.
Dr Craft was extremely professional, personable, and thorough explaining what the problem was, what it consisted of as the root of the problem, and how to manage the symptoms. Excellent experience.
Dr. Price is always so professional and thorough when I have appointments with her. I'm very pleased from the time I check in at the front desk, to in intake, the exam and check out. Everyone is very courteous.
I was finally very comfortable with the Dr Price compared to Orangeburg hospital staff! Hardly no waiting time for the appointment. I would highly recommend Lexington Hospital!
I have been a patient of Dr Myatich and his nurse [...], RN, fit many years and always receive the best of care, treatment and support from both of them. They have a very good office staff too, in their surgery scheduling and support staff.
It was a pleasure meeting and discussing my situation with Dr.Price. She was thorough in explaining all of my options and had also researched my situation with my gatroenterologist.
I have already recommended a very good friend of mine to Dr Myatich. He will be doing her surgery. I have used him for around 25 years myself. He is the best I?ve seen in the LMC.
ON TIME EXCELLENT! Most providers are late but tell us not to be late. He was extremely professional imparted information, answered questions promptly and moved forward promptly which is hire I am and what I like. The entire consult was handled in the most profession and prompt manner without being abrasive or unconcerned. I wish I could find a general practitioner like Dr Antonetti.
Dr. Price demonstrated great concern and understanding of my health concerns. She explained different approaches toward her findings and I appreciate the collective efforts to involve my GI specialist to provide additional guidance on a sound medical plan of care. I would definitely recommend Dr. Price for surgery/color-rectal needs.
Dr. Antonetti and his staff demonstrate exceptional expertise in the care of their patients. He is a masterful combination of compassion, skill and efficiency.
The level of care provided here is unparalleled. I'm very fortunate to call Lexington Surgery my home for surgical care.
[...] years ago, I had an accident that has required numerous surgeries on [...]. In that time, I’ve had three different providers, including Dr. Myatich, who rank at the top of my chart in patient care and concern. He answered all questions and provided information that I had not thought about. I’m so pleased to be in his care.
