Children of all ages can experience feeding and swallowing problems. Some of the causes could include premature birth, birth defects, genetic disorders, food aversions, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory problems, allergies, trauma, or injuries.
Our team provides specialized care by combining the expertise of pediatric gastroenterologists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, speech-language pathologists, and nutritionists. By coming together with a group of care professionals, we will address feeding and swallowing challenges for your child, at any age.
We offer the following clinics at this location:
- HEFT - for babies coming home from the NICU with a feeding tube
- Feeding and swallowing consult clinic (FSC) - for infants and children up to 3 years of age with feeding difficulties
