Children's Services

Pediatric cardiology services have been part of the continuum of care for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for several years. Initially, monthly clinics were started to follow up babies that had cardiac problems that had been in the NICU. Over the years the service has grown tremendously. Now, weekly clinics are held in the NICU clinic area to see children of all ages with heart problems. 

High level cardiac testing is available, including a real time telecommunication service with Ochsner's in New Orleans that allows us to perform on site echocardiograms which are being seen and read by the specialists there. Please contact your pediatrician or the hospital for more information.

Comprehensive Care 

Pediatric Endocrinology is a board medical specialty, involving care of numerous conditions affecting growth and development. Our clinic provides diagnosis, counseling, and ongoing treatment of all endocrine problems from infancy through adolescence. Our unique brand of comprehensive care is provided in cooperation with your primary care physician, who remains fully involved in all aspects of your child's treatment.

Pediatric Endocrinology offers treatments to children and adolescents for a variety of hormonal diseases, including diabetes and hypoglycemia, growth problems, thyroid disorders, and disorders of puberty, sexual differentiation, calcium metabolism, steroid metabolism, and hypopituitarism.  Hormones are chemicals produced by glands that affect how other parts of the body work. Endocrinology is the science that studies these glands and the effects of the hormones.

The acquisition of special testing equipment for children has enhanced the diagnosis and control of gastric problems in the children that we see. Most often we see children with recurrent abdominal pain associated with gastrointestinal ailments of all types. 

To schedule an appointment contact the pediatric gastroenterology office at 1.800.830.2629.
