Our Staff

East Tennessee Children’s Hospital (ETCH) is proud to have a stand-alone endoscopy suite, which is one of the few in the country solely dedicated to children. This endoscopy suite was named in honor of Dr. Al-Tawil due to his dedication and diligence in providing excellent care to area children. The suite is supported by multiple pediatric specialists that include surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensive care specialists, radiologists, hematologists, and other specialists on call to help our team of gastroenterologists manage and care for these children.

We are now excited to announce that we are providing in-office ultrasound, lab services, and Anal Rectal Manometry to better serve our patients and families.

The infusion department is located in our clinic to provide Remicade infusions and Humira treatments. The infusion room is equipped with a TV, comfortable reclining chairs and an experienced infusion nurse, making treatment as pleasant as possible.

Inpatient care is provided while the child is in the hospital by a team that includes a nurse practitioner and a pediatric GI physician.

We are now currently accepting new patients and existing patients in our 3 satellite clinics located in Morristown, Cleveland, and Crossville, Tennessee.
