A message from Dr. K
"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 with 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 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."
