NO BURP SYNDROME IN NYC
BURP TOX IN NEW YORK CITY
At New Look New Life, R-CPD treatment is a specialized procedure performed under general anesthesia by Dr. Philip Kuan. This innovative approach uses neurotoxin to relax the muscles of the upper esophageal sphincter, enabling patients to burp and relieve the discomfort of trapped gas. The treatment is designed for individuals with retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD), offering a solution to improve their quality of life.
What is R-CPD treatment?
R-CPD (Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction) treatment involves using a neurotoxin to relax the upper esophageal sphincter muscles, enabling patients to burp and alleviate discomfort caused by trapped gas.
Who is a candidate for R-CPD treatment?
Candidates include individuals experiencing difficulty burping, excessive bloating, or discomfort caused by trapped gas. A consultation with Dr. Philip Kuan will determine if the procedure is right for you.
How is the procedure performed?
The treatment is conducted under general anesthesia, during which a neurotoxin is injected into the upper esophageal sphincter muscle to relax it and restore proper function.

Benefits include relief from bloating, gas discomfort, and chest pressure, as well as an improved ability to burp, which enhances overall quality of life.
Is R-CPD treatment safe?
Yes, the treatment is safe and performed by Dr. Philip Kuan, a skilled specialist at New Look New Life. Neurotoxin treatments have been widely used in medical applications for years with a strong safety profile.

The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, though patients should plan for additional time for pre- and post-procedure care.
How soon will I see results?
