Innovative Care and Research for Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Kids with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) have inflammation of the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). This inflammation can make eating difficult or uncomfortable, and create other medical issues. Most people with eosinophilic (ee-eh-sin-eh-FIL-ik) esophagitis (eh-sof-eh-JYE-tis) improve with treatment. Our pediatric team will provide state of the art, personalized care for your child. We're also advancing EoE care for all kids through research.
Advanced Care With Less Wait, Kids-Only Experts and More
Our pediatric GI Center of Excellence offers families convenience and expertise, including:
- we're one of the few places in the nation that offers unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) for kids
- testing and on-site care from our experts in pediatric allergy & immunology
- personalized plans from registered dietitians with special training in the needs of kids with EoE
- programs and clinical trials led by GI experts with decades of experience caring for children
Pediatric Care From Providers Who Are Leaders in Their Field
Designed for Families to Be a Center of Excellence
Your Support Changes Lives
Your donations will help improve clinical care through research. Our active research program is focused on understanding why some patients do not respond well to standard therapies. In the near future, we will use what we learned from our research to develop a precision medicine approach tailored for each individual. Right drug, right patient, right time.
“We're beyond grateful to Dr. Franciosi for getting the transnasal endoscopy started. My son's had 17 regular endoscopies…TNE was so fast and simple!"
"I really liked having the TNE… I was happy to not have to deal with the anesthesia…I got to watch a movie and the procedure didn't feel bad at all!"
