Pediatric Motility

Prior to your child’s visit in the Motility Program at Children’s Mercy you will be contacted by our nurse coordinator to obtain details regarding your child’s medical history. During your initial visit in the Motility Program you will meet with one of our specialized pediatric gastroenterologists. Your child’s initial visit will be approximately one hour in length. Your child’s records will be reviewed along with any testing that has been done previously. During this visit a patient specific plan of care will be established for your child. This will include necessary testing, medication recommendations or other therapies that may be encouraged for your child.

Following your initial visit, your provider will identify a plan of care that is specific to your child’s needs. Follow up appointments are yearly at a minimum and on an as-needed basis if symptoms persist or require more frequent follow up. Recommendations will be provided by your physician and discussed at your clinic visit or over the phone.
