Pediatric gastrointestinal motility disorders are common and sometimes challenging to treat. To provide comprehensive care for these cases, Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital recently launched a Pediatric Gastroenterology Motility Program. It offers an array of diagnostic and therapeutic services for children with chronic motility disorders, including complex cases.
The program is led by Adam Paul, DO, Division Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology. Dr. Paul had been a general pediatric gastroenterologist with Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital for several years when he decided that he wanted to focus specifically on motility disorders. That led him to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where he completed advanced fellowship training in neurogastroenterology and motility.
Now, Dr. Paul has brought this expertise back to LVPG Pediatric Gastroenterology in Allentown. Lehigh Valley pediatricians no longer need to send families to Philadelphia or Manhattan for tests like anorectal or esophageal manometry. The Motility Program also offers convenient access to a variety of nonsurgical therapies.
