FREEPORT - The questions seem endless: Is it simple heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux? Is medication effective and how does it work? Are there any new treatments?
Monroe Clinic and General Surgeon Nicholas Maxwell, MD, will host "Heartburn Solutions," a community workshop designed to clear up the confusion surrounding this common problem. The workshop will be presented at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30, at the Freeport Public Library, located at 100 E. Douglas St. The public is invited to attend this free event, which will cover information regarding:
• How to navigate the "medication maze,"
• How to decrease the health risks connected with chronic heartburn, and
• What the newest treatment options are, and if they're right for the individual.
Dr. Maxwell has practiced general surgery at Monroe Clinic since 1989 and has taught at UW-Madison for 11 years. In 2004, he was honored as University of Wisconsin-Madison's Clinical Teacher of the Year.
Refreshments will be served. Register for this event by calling (877) 865-1462 or go to www.monroeclinic.org and click on Classes and Events.
