Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Children with gastrointestinal or liver disorders deserve care that not only helps them feel better – but helps them feel like themselves again. At Atrium Health Levine Children’s, our board-certified gastroenterologists and hepatologists are dedicated to making that happen.
We specialize in managing the full spectrum of digestive and liver conditions using the most advanced treatments available. This includes being the only pediatric provider in Charlotte to offer IB-Stim – the first FDA-approved device for children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our commitment to excellence and expertise in this breakthrough technology has earned us recognition as one of the nation’s first NeurAxis Centers of Excellence.
We’re also home to Levine Children’s Hospital, which is ranked among the nation’s top gastroenterology and GI surgery programs by U.S. News & World Report.
From everyday symptoms to rare diseases, count on us for the care your child needs to get better – and get back to being a kid.

Transnasal endoscopy (TNE)
Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a sedation-free upper endoscopy performed through the nasal passage using an ultrathin endoscope. We’re the only health facility between Charlotte and Atlanta to offer this advanced procedure. Because TNE doesn’t require sedation, your child can avoid the risks and recovery time associated with anesthesia. This also means they can return to normal activities – like school and sports – immediately after the procedure.
