Excellence with Compassion
About us
Pediatric Gastroenterology (or Pediatric GI or Peds GI) is a medical specialty dedicated to the care of children with digestive and nutritional conditions. A Pediatric Gastroenterologist (Kids GI doctor) takes care of children (0-18 years of age) with GI conditions. This includes conditions of the esophagus (food pipe), stomach, intestines, colon, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas in children. Many GI conditions are long-term and some are lifelong.
Philosophy
We are the only independent pediatric gastroenterology practice in the Wake and surrounding counties. Our goal is to provide compassionate, high-quality, cost-effective, and family-centered care to children.
​
We listen to children! We believe that every child provides us with clues to solve their digestive issues.
​
We understand parents! We want to minimize medication use when possible. Parents are the final decision-makers. And, we want to be your partners in the treatment of your child.
Why Pediatric GI?
Because children cannot explain their symptoms the way adults can. Their GI complaints can include
-
Stomach (abdominal) pain
-
A food allergy or intolerance
-
Vomiting
-
Constipation
-
Acid reflux
-
Diarrhea
-
Bloating or gas
-
Trouble swallowing food
-
Poor weight gain or poor oral intake or weight loss
-
Bleeding from the GI system - blood in vomiting or blood in the stool
-
Abnormal GI test results/ investigations
-
And, many more...

When your child has digestive illnesses, you want the very best pediatric gastroenterologist caring for them. Dr. Kunde, at Wake Pediatric Gastroenterology, can diagnose and treat all aspects of digestive conditions.
A Message From Dr. Kunde

Sachin Kunde, MD, MPH
Pediatric Gastroenterologist
Board Certified
"Dear Parents,
Thank you for visiting Wake Pediatric GI.
I am a board-certified pediatric gastroenterologist and have been taking care of children with digestive issues since 2008. Although academic medicine and research were exciting, I soon realized that patient care is where my passion lies and helping children and their families provides me the greatest satisfaction. During these years of clinical experience, I understood that
-
Pediatric gastroenterologists are high in demand but their availability is mainly limited to hospitals
-
There is a high healthcare cost associated with hospitals, investigations, medications, and GI procedures
-
And most of the GI conditions can be managed in an outpatient office setting without going to hospitals
Therefore, in 2018, I decided to start 'Wake Pediatric GI' to provide exceptional, affordable, and convenient GI care to children. My goal is to be a dedicated adviser for the digestive health of children – so you can make the best decisions for your child."
