Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
I dont see a reason to visit endocrinologist. Liver haemangiomas usually odnt casue any symptoms. It can be surgically removed if become large enough or cause bleeding. You should only consult gastroenterologist for right treatment of barrets esophagus and further endoscopic tests.
Wish you good health.
