Questions regarding RFA of Barrett's esophagus

My family member was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus without dysplasia. I have been doing a lot of research on Barrett's esophagus. I have come to know that radio frequency ablation is a  safer way for treating the case if it turns out to be dysplastic. I am from india and i dont know if there are any clinics or hospital where RFA of barrett's esophagus is done. If anyone in the community knows about it please suggest me such clinic/hospital and specialist doctor. Thankyou
