Core Tip	Given the high prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the various complications which can result from inadequate treatment, it is important for practioners to have a proper understanding of the current approach to its diagnosis and management. Diagnostic tools including various methods of pH testing are discussed. Furthermore, it is important to understand the indications and contraindications to anti-reflux surgery in order to optimize our patient’s surgical outcomes. Management of GERD in the obese patient may involve bariatric surgery and this is also further discussed.
