UCSF Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Program

The UCSF Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Program, located at 1181 Central Boulevard in Brentwood, California, is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children living with inflammatory bowel disease. Our team of world-class doctors, nurses, and specialists work together to address a range of conditions, from the common to the most rare, that result from an overactive inflammatory response in the intestines.

At UCSF, we understand the impact that IBD can have on a child's quality of life, and we are committed to using our knowledge, technologies, and resources to help children live as happily and actively as possible. Our team includes pediatric gastroenterologists, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, pediatric surgeons, and other specialists who work together to create personalized treatment plans for each patient.

As part of Northern California's largest IBD program, we offer a diverse, multilingual group of experts who specialize in pediatric care. We are also part of the ImproveCareNow network, an international pediatric IBD system, which allows us to leverage integrative therapies and cutting-edge technologies to provide the best possible care for our patients.

In addition to offering FDA-approved medications for pediatric IBD, our experts are conducting clinical trials to study the safety and efficacy of treatments currently used for adults with IBD. We also collaborate with UCSF's pediatric infusion center to provide transfusion and infusion therapies to our patients.

Our program is dedicated to providing stress-free visits for families, with accommodations for admission, discharge, and procedure preparation. We also offer a range of family-friendly amenities, including lounges, kitchens, showers, breastfeeding rooms, and more, to help families feel comfortable and supported during their time with us.
