Aerodigestive Disorders Program
Expertise in Both Breathing and Digestive Problems
91´óÉñ Children’s aerodigestive disorders team treats conditions that affect the way a child eats, breathes or swallows. We work together to help kids thrive.
Aerodigestive disorders can involve the throat, lungs, esophagus or stomach. They can be complex and affect the way a child develops. And some kids can have more than one. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced team caring for your child.
At 91´óÉñ, experts from different specialties partner to evaluate your child and plan care together. Instead of seeing different doctors in different offices, we’re all in one place. This may mean your child needs fewer tests and can start treatment sooner.
We’re also recognized across the country for our research and expertise. We share our knowledge so kids everywhere with aerodigestive disorders can get the best possible care.
Conditions & Treatments
We see a wide range of conditions — far too many to list here. The conditions we treat vary depending on the location and providers selected. Don’t see a condition listed? Call us.
