 I see a variety of children in my clinic. The conditions are also a diversity of diseases, so ranging from constipation, to reflux, to liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and celiac disease. I am really excited about the GI program here at Kehovnanian Children's Hospital. We have now six gastroenterologists, all with really unique skill sets and talents. Most recently, we just added a gastroenterologist who has an expertise in motility disorders. And with this type of skill set, we can now understand how the intestine is functioning, and it's really helpful in kids who have constipation or swallowing difficulties. Our GI doctors provide very personalized support to children and their families, so I'm incredibly proud of the work that they do. Here with the types of diseases that we see, we can really change a child's life. We have treatments now that have actually cured certain types of diseases. And with our diagnostic techniques, we can really diagnose things that we weren't able to before. So I believe that in the field of pediatric gastroenterology, we are really transformative and we've made some unique contributions over the last few decades. My areas of interest and focus are in procedures and also in liver disease. I've been working in different committees and groups to really set the national guidelines for pediatric endoscopy procedures in children. I perform the variety of GI procedures, including endoscopic assessments and pH and impedance probes. Most of the procedures that we do are both diagnostic and therapeutics. So we can, for example, both diagnose a child who might have polyps and also therapeutically remove them at the same time during the same procedure. My research focus has been in advancing health equity in pediatric astroenterology. My goal is to be sure that every child in New Jersey has the same access and opportunity to healthcare. The work that I've been doing has looked at pediatric endoscopy procedures and try to understand how we can better design our care delivery system to be sure that kids have the same access to endoscopy and that they don't need to come to an emergency room for emergency procedures. They can get these procedures on an elective basis before things become a crisis.
