With the expansion of our program, patients have access to a multidisciplinary team that provides comprehensive care for digestive disorders. All of our specialists see patients in northern New Jersey and can link patients and their families to additional resources available through Mount Sinai.
Same-day appointments are available to accommodate patients who have acute issues and need immediate care.
And while our program focuses on advanced, evidence-based clinical services, we never forget that treating GI issues in children requires compassion and sensitivity. We take the time to listen to you, understand your child's needs, and deliver care that's child-friendly and family-centered.
