Overview

I provide care to children with a wide array of gastrointestinal disorders. My goal is to take a team based approach with my patients and their families. I aim to develop plans for diagnosis and treatment that are safe, effective, evidenced based and feasible for the family. I have a special interest in social determinants of health, improving accessibility to healthcare, as well as, diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am conducting health services research that I hope will help inform and improve healthcare policies so children can receive the best possible care.

The only thing I wish would have changed was I made this appointment at 8am on Thursday the first results of the stool sample was given to me around noon , when I was in the appointment on Friday the doctor told me they ran the wrong test and she contacted them at 7:30 am that same day and told them to run something different . It would have been nice if they looked at her chart the day prior so may be I could have even had a trip and money saved . If she looked the day before she could have told them to run a different test and if it came back positive she could have called in a different RX then what we had before but now my daughter has been on an antibiotic that didn't work the first time since Thursday and we are STILL waiting for results of the new test and it's Sunday!!!!! I'm mind blown that the first test came back in a couple hours the second test takes days!!!

Dr. Samalik was wonderful. She gave a great job explaining our child's care and going forward with the steps needed or and things to look for. We are really grateful to have her as a provider.
