About Us

Our team knows that children aren’t just small adults – they have unique needs. Our team is uniquely equipped to evaluate, diagnose and treat disorders related to a child’s digestive system, including placement and management of feeding tubes, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and many other GI related concerns. With diagnostic and laboratory services on site, ETCH Pediatric Gastroenterology is a convenient option for busy families.
