A System of Caring

At the Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital, we specialize in taking care of your child’s digestive system.  A variety of gastroenterological problems involving the digestive system can occur in children, such as conditions involving the stomach, liver, and pancreas.  Our dedicated team evaluates and manages all health problems effecting a child’s digestion, nutrition, and gastrointestinal tract.  

The Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital offers comprehensive expert gastroenterology care.  We have an outstanding group of board-certified gastroenterologists and anesthesiologists, as well as excellent nurse practitioners.  Our staff interacts closely with other related disciplines including pediatric allergy, endocrinology, and pulmonary medicine departments.  We take the time to explain treatment and plans to both child and parent, and in order to reduce the child’s anxiety, we evaluate and deliver care that is child-friendly, in an environment created just for them.
