What is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist?

If your child has a digestive system, liver, or nutritional problem, a pediatric gastroenterologist has the expertise to treat your child. Children's digestive, hepatic, and nutritional disorders are often different from those experienced in adults. Pediatric gastroenterology requires specialized training and expertise.
Pediatric gastroenterologists treat children from the newborn period through the teen years. They have chosen to make pediatric care the focus of their medical practice, providing vast expertise in the treatment of newborns, adolescents, and teenagers.
