Some of the most common ailments in infants, children and teenagers involve the gastrointestinal system (digestive and stomach issues). At CHoR, we care for children with a wide variety of gastrointestinal and nutrition needs. We provide care at the Children's Pavilion in downtown Richmond and at multiple community outpatient centers across central and northern Virginia. Our team offers on-site testing as well as urgent appointments when needed.
Treatment is tailored to each individual child and family. We work with a large team of pediatric subspecialists to care for all GI conditions, from the common to the complex, including:
There are no dietary restrictions for the first appointment.
The first appointment requires a detailed interview and comprehensive physical examination, and may also include blood work and/or a rectal exam. Radiology tests and/or endoscopic procedures will be scheduled for a later date after the first appointment. Please bring notes or test results from the pediatrician (CD of x-rays, blood test results, biopsy slides, etc.)
If you are a physician referring a patient for care or need to contact our team, please email Renee.Anschutz@vcuhealth.org.
Our goal is to treat the whole child, not just their illness. Support groups can help complement medical care provided at CHoR.
