We help kids with a wide range of health issues. Our pediatric specialists work with your pediatrician to create a care plan that meets your child’s unique needs – physical, mental, and emotional.
We provide a full range of healthcare services for your child’s condition, including:
Blood conditions
Blood disorders, or hematology, encompass a wide variety of conditions. Some of these include problems with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, and the blood’s ability to clot.
Craniofacial conditions
Our multi-disciplinary team calls on experts from several specialties to provide evaluations related to both the skull (cranium) and face (facial). Specialists in plastic surgery, orthodontics, genetics, speech therapy, and more work together to recommend treatment options for your child.
Digestive conditions (Gastrointestinal)
Pediatric gastroenterology involves diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive system, as well as the liver and biliary system. This includes conditions of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Conditions include:
- Esophagus and swallowing issues such as chronic vomiting, dysphagia, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), feeding difficulties, reflux, and GERD.
- Stomach issues such as gastritis (swelling or inflammation of the stomach), gastroparesis (poor gastric emptying), peptic ulcer disease, or recurrent or chronic abdominal pain.
- Intestinal issues such as celiac disease and gluten sensitivities, constipation, chronic diarrhea, food allergies and sensitivities, gas and bloating/distention, IBS - irritable bowel syndrome, crohn's and colitis, malabsorption, or motility issues.
- Pancreas issues such as cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), and pancreatic insufficiency.
- Liver issues of acute and chronic hepatitis, bile duct disorders, biliary atresia, fatty liver disease, metabolic disorders, and neonatal jaundice/cholestasis.
- Nutritional issues like food allergies and intolerance, nutritional deficiencies, poor weight gain, obesity related issues, and unexplained weight loss.
Genetic conditions
Whether inherited (congenital) or caused by environmental factors (acquired) such as prenatal alcohol or drug use, about 8 percent of babies are born with a genetic disorder. This means they have an odd number of chromosomes, causing certain birth defects, certain facial features, and learning issues. We help you navigate life with a genetic disorder and help you understand the likelihood for a disorder in future pregnancies.
- Down syndrome
- Trisomy 18 & 13
- Turner Syndrome
Heart conditions (Cardiology)
The most common cause of heart failure in children is a heart defect that is present at birth (congenital). Other times diseases may develop as they grow. You want to know your child is going to receive the best possible medical attention. We bring together specialists to care for your little one so they may enjoy the fullest life possible.
Common heart conditions include:
- Heart disease present at birth (congenital)
- Heart disease developed during childhood (acquired)
- Abnormal rhythm of the heart (arrhythmia)
Hormonal conditions (Endocrinology)
The endocrine system is a network of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones affect your child’s internal processes, such as metabolism and growth. Some common endocrine problems in children include diabetes, growth issues, puberty disorders, and thyroid conditions. Our team of educators, nurses, nutritionists, and specialized doctors treats your child’s hormonal conditions from infancy to young adulthood.
