Our Services

We offer comprehensive gastrointestinal and nutritional care on an outpatient basis in our GI Clinic. Our gastroenterologists also provide care in the Pediatric Emergency Room, as well in the Pediatric Inpatient Care Unit.

One of our main methods of diagnosing gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders is endoscopy, a procedure that allows us to see inside the esophagus, stomach, and gastrointestinal tract with a small camera called an endoscope. Learn about our available endoscopic procedures.

It’s normal to have questions if your child has been referred to us for an endoscopy or other gastrointestinal or nutritional care. Get answers to frequently asked questions about our care.

If your child needs specialty gastroenterology care, our colleagues at Mass General for Children offer a number of specialized programs and procedures. Learn about these specialty programs.
