What happens at a clinic visit?
At the first clinic visit, your child will be seen by a board certified pediatric gastroenterologist and either a nurse specializing in gastroenterology or a pediatric nurse practitioner. During this visit we will record a medical history and perform a physical examination of the child. We will determine what, if any, diagnostic tests need to be done. A plan of care will be outlined and teaching provided.

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin now offers an accommodations program to assist out-of-the area families with travel arrangements. For more information, please visit the Family Accommodations Program page.

Who Will I See?

It takes many people to care for a child. We provide interdisciplinary care, which means we have a team of specialists available to care for all of your child's needs. They include doctors, advanced practice nurses, nurses, therapists, dietitians, psychologists, social workers and speech language pathologists.
