Caring for Children’s Digestion and Nutrition
Proper nutrition is important for growth and development, and gastrointestinal (GI) issues can threaten that. If your child has digestive health needs, bring them to Sanford Children's pediatric gastroenterologists for expert GI care.
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained specialists diagnose and treat GI conditions in infants, toddlers, children and adolescents. We provide care for the entire digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and large and small intestines.
When you make an appointment with a gastroenterologist at Sanford Children's, your child’s care team will consist of specialists, nurses and their primary care provider, all working together with you to keep your child healthy.
For physicians: Refer a patient to Sanford Health.
