To help pinpoint the cause of certain gastrointestinal conditions, they use a variety of diagnostic testing tools, such as upper endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, and colonoscopy.

The team offers comprehensive evaluations and therapies, treating each young patient with personalized care.

Dr. Ulmer and the WHOLE staff at this office are amazing. We learned more in one office visit than we have in 3 years with other doctors. This place is an answered prayer for us. She is the best and she cares about my baby the way she does her own.

Dr. Ulmer has been my daughter's GI physician for over 3 years and performed her gallbladder surgery. She and her staff have been wonderful and my daughter loves her team. I would recommend Kids and Tummies for any child that is having stomach issues.
