Programs in the Digestive Health Institute

The Digestive Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado has one of the top pediatric gastroenterology and GI surgery programs in the country. Our team of physicians are nationally recognized experts in areas of GI, liver, pancreatic and nutritional disorders.

Below is a list of our programs:

Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy Clinic (ATECh)

Since many times the physician or specialist recommending advanced endoscopic procedures is not necessarily the ones actually performing the procedure, the ATECh clinic offers a venue for families to meet with the endoscopist prior to the procedure.  During the meeting, the endoscopist will review the specifics of the procedure in a relaxed and unpressured environment, much in the way that patients and families would naturally expect to meet their surgeon before undergoing a surgery. Contact the ATECh Clinic at 720-777-6669.

Aerodigestive Program

The Aerodigestive Program is dedicated to providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment and services for children with complex airway, respiratory and gastrointestinal tract disorders.
