Watching your child struggle with a digestive health problem can be a heart-wrenching experience. Pediatric gastroenterologists in the Sutter Health network offer advanced diagnostic imaging technology and minimally-invasive procedures for treating disorders of the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, liver, small intestine and colon.
