Pediatric Intestinal Transplant Care Team

Our Pediatric Intestinal Transplant Program began in 2001 with a team of physicians from our Pediatric Liver Transplant Program. Together, we represent more than 35 years of transplant experience. Our care team of general surgeons, gastroenterologists, and hepatologists takes a family-centered, multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child.

We work collaboratively to create a personalized plan of care for your child. By caring for your child before, during, and after transplant, we help them live their best possible life.
