Caring for Children’s Digestion & Nutrition
Proper nutrition is important for growth and development. Gastrointestinal (GI) issues can threaten a child's development. If your child has digestive health needs, bring them to Sanford Children's gastroenterologists for expert pediatric GI care.
We treat digestive system problems, liver disorders and nutritional concerns. Our specialists diagnose and treat GI conditions in infants, toddlers, children and adolescents.
When you make an appointment with a gastroenterologist at Sanford Children's, you'll have a team of providers caring for your child. Your child's care team will consist of specialists, nurses and your child's primary care provider. We'll work with you to keep your child healthy.
