Dr. Ibañez: Overview and tour of her paediatric feeding clinic in a 5-minute video
“The work that these brilliant and passionate team members do each day is life changing for the individuals and families that they have the opportunity to serve.”
Dr. “Vivian Ibañez understands the power of food. It’s a vital element for survival, but it’s more than mere sustenance. It serves as a cultural anchor, shaping identity and fostering a sense of belonging. … Despite the universal importance of food, the intricacies of eating are often overlooked.”
“The accompanying health benefits are also clear. As eating and nutrition improve, many of Ibañez’s patients gain weight, and their g-tubes are taken out. “You can see the changes in their features,” she said. “They look healthier, and a lot of the kids who struggle in other areas like speech or toileting are making related improvements while in our program.”
