Stomach ulcers—also known as peptic ulcers—affect millions of Americans every year, causing burning pain, indigestion, and even bleeding. While medications can help manage symptoms short term, they often don’t address why the ulcer developed.
At Patients Medical in NYC, we blend conventional GI protocols with functional and holistic medicine to heal your gut naturally, quickly, and effectively—from the inside out.
