GI Motility

Print this Page

We were pioneers in the performance of esophageal manometry back in 1980. Dr. Joseph Croffie, Director of the Pediatric GI Motility Laboratory began performing anorectal manometry in 1995. He has a national reputation in this area and in the performance of biofeedback training for patients with difficulties passing stool. The addition of stomach, small intestine and colonic motility studies became available in our Motility Laboratory in early 2000. Dr. Marian Pfefferkorn also performs anorectal manometry and biofeedback training.
