You have a choice: Hiatus hernia is often asscoaited with acid reflux. If you have this problem you will experience indigestion or hyperacidity. This can be manged by the endoscopy doctor as well as by your gp. But you will need good antacids which your gp may be bale to handle. Otherwise you can go see your gastro-enterologist who did the endoscopy because he is the specialist!.

Up to you : Doctors in different specialties have different experience and knowledge base related to different problems. Depending on what symptoms you have, you may want an opinion from a specialist, especially the one that did the endoscopy. Of particular note, symptoms related to hiatal hernia are often misunderstood and underestimated.
