As parents, we work to ensure that our children have access to the best of everything, and that should extend to their medical care. As a pediatric gastroenterologist, my goal is to be the parents’ partner in the care of their children, and it’s Kids and Tummies’ mission to provide the best Pediatric GI care available.”
