Children's Endoscopy

If your child's doctor recommends an endoscopy, we are ready to answer any questions you may have about this procedure. The Mount Sinai Endoscopy Suite performs thousands of endoscopic procedures each year. Our pediatric gastroenterologists are trained specially to perform endoscopy on children and interpret the results.

We use advanced optics and visualization systems that allow safe, fast, accurate and painless examinations of the digestive tract and adjacent organs.

Preparing Your Child for an Endoscopy

It's natural for you, as parents, to have questions about this examination. We briefly describe the procedure in What Parents Need to Know. In addition, Meet Me at Mount Sinai is a program offered through Child Life to help parents prepare their child for an endoscopy or other medical procedures.
