The division is comprised of three full-time board certified pediatric gastroenterologists and a pediatric nurse practitioner who provide care to children from birth through 22 years of life with a variety of gastrointestinal and nutritional problems:

The division specializes in coordinated patient care by working closely with pediatric surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, speech therapists and nutritionists as well as both general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists. In addition, the division collaborates with adult gastroenterologists for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
