I have to say, in my opinion, you not only need to see a specialist about your condition, but it sounds like you need to find a new family doctor. I know it is hard to find a good doctor, and it took me several trys with different doctors until I found one I am comfortable with. This doctor does not sound like he is taking you or your symptoms seriously. A Nissen Fundo can be done at the same time as a hiatal hernia repair, but they are for two different things. I would strongly urge you to find a new doctor and get another opinion. Make sure your insurance will allow you to make an appointment with a specialist without a referral from a family doctor, some will not. You may have to find a new family doctor first, who can then refer you to a specialist. Good luck to you.
