Pediatric Gastroenterology

by Brian Alverson, MD

Pediatric gastroenterologists are specialists who treat children from the newborn period through young adulthood, focusing on problems such as GI-related growth problems, physical and emotional development, age-related social or family issues, and medical/genetic history. Since children express their concerns differently than adults, and they sometimes cannot answer medical questions, it is important to learn of alternative methods of patient evaluation.

Pediatric gastrointestinal pathology is wide-ranging, encompassing congenital disorders to acquired ones, but abdominal pathology can often be difficult to diagnose in any population. Keeping a high index of suspicion for a broad differential diagnosis is important for elucidating the key signs and symptoms that may lead to a specific diagnosis.
