Hello, parents! 💙👶

I know some of you have asked at TMC Clark’s Pedia Subspecialty Clinic for a pedia gastro consult, but just to clarify 👉 my clinic hours and my name won’t appear there—because I’m actually not part of that clinic. ✨

Instead, I have my own personal clinic 💙 where I see patients every Friday at Room 216. 🏥

So if your little one needs tummy care—from reflux to feeding issues—you know where to find me. 🍼😊

📩 Message me here to book your slot. Or you could always contact my friendly secretary at 09222503249

Endoscopic Rubber Band Ligation of Esophageal Varices

Sequential endoscopic images showing rubber band ligation of esophageal varices in a child with portal hypertension.

📍 Image 1: Pre-ligation view showing prominent varices with risk of hemorrhage.

📍 Image 2-3: Variceal columns are suctioned into the banding device, followed by precise band deployment.

📍 Image 4: Post-ligation flattening of variceal columns is observed, indicating effective occlusion

ERBL is an effective therapeutic option for pediatric patients requiring variceal hemorrhage prophylaxis or management.

Good evening!

For Doc Erin’s patients: just a heads-up that Doc Erin has clinic EVERYDAY except Thursdays and Sundays.

If you need to consult her or want her to check and interpret lab results, feel free to drop by during her clinic hours.

If you really can’t make it to the clinic, you may go to the ER instead, to have your child properly assessed by a health care personnel or a pediatric resident. This is to keep you and your child safe and to avoid any mistakes with prescriptions.

Doc Erin also respectfully requests that lab tests not be sent thru viber to avoid miscommunication and ensure patient safety.

Thanks for your understanding!

Neurological conditions (e.g., cerebral palsy)
Swallowing disorders (dysphagia)
Failure to thrive or malnutrition
Congenital anomalies (e.g., cleft palate, esophageal atresia)
Chronic conditions (e.g., metabolic disorders, cancer)

Coins are the most common type of foreign bodies ingested by children.
Coins that reach the stomach and intestines usually pass uneventfully, however, if it gets lodged in the distal esophagus, or like this patient, in the fundus of the stomach, pose a greater problem and may need to be removed endoscopically.
