Frequently Asked Questions

Are pancreatic conditions common in children?

They are uncommon, which is exactly why they benefit from a surgeon who treats children specifically. Dr. Frykman will assess your child and coordinate with pediatric gastroenterology as needed.

What tests are usually needed?

Assessment typically involves blood tests and imaging. Bring any scans or results already performed so they can be reviewed rather than repeated unnecessarily.

How do I arrange a consultation?

Call the office on (805) 372-8500 or send a request through the contact page, and the team will arrange an appointment and let you know what to bring.
