Trouble finding our new location?

Children’s Care Endocrinology, Children’s Care Nephrology and Children’s Care GI & Surgery- now known as - Memorial Health University Physicians Children’s Care Surgery & Specialty Medicine - will see patients at 4790 Waters Avenue Suite 200 Savannah, GA, 31404. We are on the second floor in the new medical office building located beside Children’s Hospital of Savannah.

Our general surgery focus

Our board certified and fellowship trained surgeons are experienced in providing detailed surgical care to help your child. We leverage advanced approaches and minimally invasive tactics to help your child recover quicker to help them get back to their active lifestyle. 

Our gastroenterology focus

We provide various tailored recommendations to help care for your child if they are facing a condition with their digestive (or GI) tract. If your child is suffering from a digestive, liver or nutritional issue, our providers can diagnose the condition and provide a recommended course of treatment to best help your child.

Our endocrinology focus

We care for children who have problems related to the endocrine system, including diabetes and hormonal imbalances. The endocrine system helps control mood, growth, metabolism, sexual development and more, so when it is not working properly, a child's natural growth and development processes may be affected.
