Who we are

We are dedicated to helping with digestive issues, liver and pancreas functions, and daily nutrition in infants, children, and teens.

Our team offers specialized clinics for liver disease and transplants, nutrition challenges, swallowing and feeding issues, inflammatory bowel diseases (like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis), intestinal problems, pancreatic disorders, and cystic fibrosis. This helps ensure that your child gets the specialized care they need to feel well.

We start by guiding you through your child’s diagnosis, creating a detailed treatment plan. And working closely with you and your primary care provider, we’ll build the best care plan to support your child.

What sets us apart

Why we're the best fit for you and your child:

We are nationally recognized experts in liver disease, intestinal disorders, and nutritional problems. Doctors from around the world come to learn from our collaborative environment and exclusive work with children.

Because we are pediatricians first, we specialize in the care of infants, children, and teens. We understand how young people develop and thrive, and all our visits are centered around your child. By partnering with experts in pediatric medicine, your child’s care team will be filled with skilled professionals who work exclusively with young patients.

We offer healthcare built for children, including endoscopy and motility equipment sized and scaled for kids. This way, your child can receive the best services and the best experience for their age.
To help all children receive the care they need, we participate in ongoing research initiatives in areas including eosinophilic esophagitis, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Our team is always learning more - that way we can help every child who comes through our doors.
