Bronson Pediatric Gastroenterology

When discovered early, children's digestive problems can often be addressed more effectively. Sometimes it can be helpful just to hear your child is doing fine.

Our pediatric gastroenterologists and pediatric nurse practitioner provide family-centered care for children with digestive and related concerns. We include family members and primary care doctors in planning the best ways to meet the needs of each child.

We see infants, children and adolescents at our office by physician referral. Your child may have been referred for:

  • Intestinal surgery follow-up
  • Short gut syndrome
  • Reflux
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Malabsorption syndrome
  • Chronic diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Encopresis (elimination disorder)
  • Diseases of the liver, pancreas and biliary tract

What to Expect
Your child will see a board certified pediatric gastroenterologist - a specially trained stomach and intestine doctor for children-as well as a pediatric nurse practitioner. The physical exam will include vital statistics (head size, height, weight, heart rate) and a detailed nutritional history.

After the exam, the doctor or nurse practitioner will meet with you and your child to explain his or her findings. We will send this information to your child's primary care provider and develop an individualized plan of care. If we recommend further tests or treatments, we will discuss them with you.

Southwest Michigan's Only Children's Hospital
