International Reflux Clinic of Budapest is the most comprehensive and advanced diagnostic and treatment center of reflux disease in Center Europe.

Our international professional staff welcomes patient from all over Europe and beyond.  Our multidisciplinary approach and world-class medical team  guarantees the best possible care for our patients.

Heartburn again? Burning pain at night? Sore throat? Upper respiratory tract infections? Sinusitis?

At International Reflux Clinic Budapest, we don’t just relieve the symptoms. We correct the underlying cause: helping you regain comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

Who is this solution for?

You may be a candidate if you experience:

• Frequent heartburn, acid taste, or night-time coughing
• Persistent symptoms despite medication or lifestyle change
• Dependence on long-term acid-blocking drugs
• Sleep disturbance or reduced quality of life due to reflux
• Frequent soar-throat, upper respiratory track infections
• Looking for the first diagnosis due to symptoms
• Already diagnosed with acid-reflux (GERD) or silent reflux (LPR, NERD)
• Avoid or treat complications from reflux disease like oeasophagitis or Barrett-syndrome
• Existing treatment is ineffective
• Complications after anti-reflux surgery done in a different institution

If you’ve tried everything yet still suffer — it’s time for a definitive, structural solution.

Don’t wait until it gets worse

Reflux rarely “just goes away”.

When symptoms persist despite medication, or start interfering with sleep, nutrition, work or daily comfort, it means the underlying anti-reflux barrier is failing.

Modern treatment today focuses on restoring the natural function of the lower esophageal sphincter — not masking symptoms. The earlier the problem is assessed, the easier and safer the solution.

Take control now – before reflux controls your life.

Diagnostics

A precise diagnosis is the foundation of an effective treatment plan.
At Reflux Clinic, your evaluation may include:

• Upper endoscopy (EGD)

• 24-hour pH-impedance monitoring

• Esophageal manometry

• Ultrasound or CT if required

• Review of all previous medical records

We map the true cause of your reflux — anatomy, motility, acid, bile or functional factors — and tailor the therapy accordingly.

Fast, minimally invasive surgical solutions

For patients who require structural correction, we offer laparoscopic, less-traumatic procedures with rapid recovery and long-term results.

Options include:

• Schoppmann fundoplication (refined modern technique)

• LINX® magnetic augmentation

• RefluxStop™ anti-reflux implant

Most patients return home the same day, with guided follow-up and structured recovery support.

The goal is simple: restore natural barrier function and eliminate reflux at its source.

Multidisciplinary approach

Optimal outcomes in reflux and upper-GI care require more than a single intervention — they demand a fully integrated, multidisciplinary strategy. At our center, every patient benefits from a coordinated care pathway involving specialists across multiple fields, working together to identify the true underlying causes and deliver lasting results.

Our team includes radiologists, ENT specialists, reflux-focused esophageal surgeons, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, cardiologists, allergologists, dietitians, psychologists, and health coaches, collaborating closely throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Reflux and esophageal symptoms often overlap with respiratory, cardiac, metabolic, and functional conditions. By combining advanced imaging, endoscopic and surgical expertise, personalized nutrition planning, and mind-body support, we tailor each patient’s journey based on medical evidence and individual needs — not one-size-fits-all protocols.

Unique procedures

Beyond advanced reflux surgery, our center offers uniquely comprehensive treatment options for complex upper gastrointestinal disorders — unmatched in Central Europe.

We perform Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) therapy for conditions such as Congenital Inlet Patch (CIP), Barrett’s esophagus, and selected early esophageal neoplasms, providing patients with organ-preserving, minimally invasive therapeutic alternatives.

Another specialized field is the diagnosis and treatment of gastroparesis, a severe stomach-emptying disorder that often affects individuals with advanced diabetes or may develop as a complication after poorly performed reflux surgery. Our multidisciplinary approach and tailored interventions (including minimally invasive solutions) allow us to restore gastric function and significantly improve quality of life.

We also treat complex esophageal motility disorders, most notably achalasia, characterized by difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and food regurgitation due to impaired esophageal muscle function. Depending on the case, we offer endoscopic dilation or surgical therapy to relieve symptoms and normalize swallowing function.

At Reflux Clinic, patients have access to highly specialized procedures rarely available elsewhere: ensuring precision diagnosis, modern therapeutic options, and long-term outcomes.
