Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology

I am a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC)–certified pediatrician and pediatric gastroenterologist. My clinical work focuses on evidence-based, family-centered care for infants, children, and adolescents with gastrointestinal, liver, nutrition, and feeding concerns.

Clinical interests: Pediatric gastroenterology • Hepatology • Nutrition • Endoscopy

Clinical focus

My day-to-day practice commonly includes:

• Abdominal pain (functional and organic), reflux, vomiting, and feeding difficulties
• Chronic diarrhea, constipation, and fecal incontinence (including refractory constipation pathways)
• Celiac disease and food-related conditions (including eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders)
• Inflammatory bowel disease (including very early onset inflammatory bowel disease), biologic therapy follow-up, and infusion care pathways
• Gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia evaluation (upper and lower), including endoscopic hemostasis when indicated
• Hepatobiliary disorders (including neonatal cholestasis and portal hypertension/variceal care) and pancreatitis care, including post–liver transplant follow-up when relevant
• Nutrition support (enteral and parenteral), growth concerns, selective/restrictive eating, and obesity/metabolic risk
• Gastrointestinal concerns in neurodevelopmental conditions (for example, Autism Spectrum Disorder), with a practical, family-centered approach

Procedures and testing

Where appropriate, I integrate pediatric GI procedures and functional testing into care, including:

• Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy (diagnostic and therapeutic), including:
  • Biopsies (for example, celiac disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease)
  • Polypectomy (upper and lower gastrointestinal tract)
  • Foreign body removal
  • Hemostasis of bleeding lesions (injection, clipping, cautery when indicated)
  • Esophageal dilation for strictures (for example, post-repair esophageal atresia, achalasia-related, or reflux-related strictures)
  • Variceal therapy when clinically indicated
• PEG and PEC care pathways (including program development and long-term follow-up)
• Capsule endoscopy (performance and interpretation)
• Functional and motility testing (when available and clinically indicated):
  • pH monitoring and dual pH–impedance studies
  • Hydrogen/methane breath testing
  • Anorectal manometry
• Percutaneous liver biopsy (ultrasound-guided), when clinically indicated and available within the care setting
