From a momma:
I am trying to find a GI doctor and nutritionist in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area for my son who is 2 years old. My son has been suffering from constipation & even when his bowels are soft he still cries in pain & have a difficult time getting it to pass. When he was at Vanderbilt childrens hospital in Nashville the doctors there said he may have a malrotation and I want to get a second opinion about it while I'm in the area. My son has tricare and united health community(ssi). Can anyone recommend a GI doctor that can see my son asap. I have another month in area before I relocate back to the Nashville area. TIA
FTA NOTE: Parent is unable to get an appointment at CHOP.

Dr. Kevin Kelly in Willow Grove. Best GI ever! Dupont's team couldn't figure out why my daughter was vomiting all the time, he solved the problem in one visit Pediatric Specialty Care PC: Kelly Kevin J MD Pediatrician 2701 Blair Mill Rd Ste 6, Willow Grove, PA 19090 (215) 293-8800 Call Directions
My sis (Marissa Barr Quinn) is looking for a good pediatric GI, preferably close to Ambler. She has a couple recommendations but would like other options since specialists tend to be booked for months. Do you have someone you would recommend?

Tyler's gastroenterologist was Dr. Kelly at pediatric specialty care in Willow Grove (2701 Blair Mill Rd Suite 6 - 2152938800). They were able to get him in pretty quickly as a new patient.
