David Suskind Email & Phone Number

As a Pediatric Gastroenterologist working within a tertiary care center, I am all too familiar with the pain and anguish IBD inflicts on my patients and their families. These same families show immense strength and perseverance in the face of such a debilitating disease. Innovative and groundbreaking research is a crucial step in improving the lives of patients and their families. I have had a long-term interest in IBD and the fecal microbiome. My research has focused on the effect of the fecal microbial transplant and diet on inflammatory bowel disease, both of which impact the fecal microbiome. Clinically, I have focused my work within Seattle Children’s Hospital IBD center. We currently follow over 800 children with IBD. I am Physician Lead at Seattle Children's Hospital of ImproveCareNow, a national quality improvement collaborative with whose main objective is improve the quality of care for patients with IBD using standardized quality improvement methods.
