What Sets Us Apart
At Children’s, our pediatric gastroenterologists understand the unique anatomy and physiology of a child's digestive system, as well as the different conditions that can affect them at various stages of development. Additionally, our pediatric hepatologists specialize in diagnosing, treating and managing various liver diseases ensuring custom care and support for young patients.
Children’s has the state’s only hospital-based specialty clinics for digestive and eating disorders. Our team offers comprehensive care supported by experienced providers committed to addressing every aspect of your child’s condition, ensuring a holistic approach.
Our pediatric gastroenterologists also conduct clinical trials offering the latest and most promising treatments for conditions such as liver disease, motility disorders and intestinal failure.
In addition, the Omaha community has several resources. While not affiliated with Children’s, they provide valuable support for families. A parent partner ([email protected]) supports families of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the My IBD Family Facebook group coordinates educational and social events.
Awards and Honors
Children’s Nebraska was among the first in the nation to offer advanced procedures such as endoscopic microscopy and endoscopic ultrasound in a pediatric setting.
We continually seek innovative treatments for children with digestive tract, liver and nutrition disorders. For example, we are involved in ImproveCareNow, which is dedicated to restoring the wellbeing of children with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. By exchanging evidence-based practices with other providers across the globe, our team can offer the most effective care for children with inflammatory bowel disease.
