Pediatric Gastroenterologist

About the Team

The Department of Pediatrics at Loma Linda University School of Medicine is a vibrant academic community serving the Inland Empire of Southern California. Our Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology currently consists of eight Pediatric Gastroenterologists and a Nurse Practitioner, working collaboratively to provide comprehensive care. As a tertiary care referral center, we span Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono counties, supporting a large and diverse patient population.

Our facility includes a state-of-the-art endoscopy lab at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, offering advanced procedures such as general motility studies, bio-feedback programs, IB Stim, breath hydrogen studies, and esophageal pH studies. A full-time anesthesia service supports these procedures. The division operates specialized team-center clinics for complex conditions including intestinal failure (home TPN), inflammatory bowel disease, cystic fibrosis, chronic lung disease, spina bifida, and liver disease. These clinics are bolstered by a dedicated team of nurse specialists, dieticians, social workers, and administrative staff.

Academically, the division is integral to a robust training environment, hosting 84 pediatric residents and 16 Med-Peds residents. The hospital is a major teaching site for the Loma Linda University School of Medicine, offering ample opportunities for both basic and clinical research.
