A Pediatric Gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in treating children from the newborn period through the young adult years with gastrointestinal problems. This medical specialty requires rigorous training, and less than one-fourth of all physicians are trained in this field. Their specialty focuses on gastrointestinal, liver, and nutrition issues, including obesity, malnutrition, and liver failure. They also perform a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures to diagnose and treat children. Some of these procedures include motility tests, foreign body removal, polypectomy, and injection therapy.
When it comes to examinations, they know exactly how to make their young patients feel relaxed and comfortable. Pediatric GI doctors are trained to recognize the unique needs of young patients. They focus on everything from physical and emotional growth, age-related social or family challenges, as well as genetic/medical chronology in order to provide comprehensive care for every patient they encounter. A typical office setting is designed around creating an environment where kids feel comfortable with their surroundings while providing them access at all times so there won’t be any interruptions during checkups.
A child’s health is too important to be treated as just another medical condition. If your little one has experienced any GI problems, such as heartburn or constipation- common symptoms for kids – you’ll want them looked after by someone who can provide personalized care and understanding of their unique situation in life.
