Nausea Program
Treating nausea in children can be difficult. That’s why the gastroenterologists in the Nausea Program at Monroe Carell approach care with both traditional and integrative methods when other treatments may have failed.
We understand the difficulties of living with chronic nausea. Our expert team includes board certified gastroenterologists, nutritionists and mental health specialists who provide individualized and comprehensive care.
Patients must be referred by a specialist in gastroenterology or a family physician to be seen in our clinic.
