Pediatric GI Specialist- Recommendation

I need to take my little guy to a GI specialist and I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

TIA

Re: Pediatric GI Specialist- Recommendation

  • I can recommend Dr. Bryan Vartabedian.  We saw him at the Texas Children's clinic here in The Woodlands.  I think he also practices a couple days a week in the Med Center. 

    It's been three years since we had to take our older DD to see him because of chronic vomiting and delayed gastric emptying.  I remember that he was very thorough, a good listener and super duper smart.

  • Forgot to mention that he's written a great book about colic.  Here's a link to it on Amazon.  He considers himself to be the Houston reflux guru. ;)

  • I would recommend anyone at Texas Children's.  I particularly love Dr. Gopalakrishna and Dr. Thakker (pronounced like Tucker).  They see patients at the main campus as well as TCH Health Center in Sugar Land (where I work).

    Dr. Gopalakrishna (also known as Dr. Krishna) knows all of his patients by heart.  I told him a patient's name the other day and he gave me her history without looking at anything or any prompting.  I've even been told he knows patient's phone numbers by heart.

    I highly recommend Dr Vartabedian as well. We just saw him this week. He is very knowledable, patient, a god listener, and helps you get to the root of things.
