Digestive issues like diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain are common in children but when symptoms become persistent, they may signal an underlying gastrointestinal (GI) condition.
At the Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper, our skilled pediatric gastroenterologists provide expert care for infants, children, and adolescents with both acute and chronic GI concerns. Using advanced diagnostic tools and treatment techniques, we help children feel better and return to their happy, active lives.
