Diagnosis and Treatment
Upper and Lower Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a procedure that allows a Gastroenterologist to look at the inside of the gastrointestinal tract using an endoscope. An endoscopy is performed to discover reasons for problems including swallowing difficulties, bleeding, indigestion, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, reflux, chest pain or diarrhea.

Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy is used to look at the inside lining of the small intestine. Conventional upper endoscopy will only visualize the beginning of the small intestine, and colonoscopy will only visualize the end of small intestine. Capsule endoscopy is a way of bridging that gap to see the entire intestine.

pH Probe Study
A pH probe study is designed to assess acid reflux in your child. Sometimes this study can be performed "with impedance," which means that it will also detect non-acid reflux.

Dr. Aliza Solomon explains the "jellybean test," which she helped develop alongside Dr. Robbyn Sockolow, and its benefits.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Dr.Solomon listened to my concerns after seeing two other GI doctors, she got right to figuring out what was wrong with my son.
Amazing doctor! Very knowledgeable and you can tell he loves working with kids. Would highly recommend him!
Dr. Chien and the fellow were both very attentive and thorough in their assessment of my daughter's complaints. I highly recommend the Cornell Pediatric GI dept to any parents.
