Biosketch:

Dr. Ermarth practices general gastroenterology and endoscopy for pediatric patients at Primary Children’s Hospital in Utah. She is the medical director of the Feeding and Swallowing Center at Primary Children's Hospital and a provider in the Nutrition Center, which gives comprehensive nutrition care. She has particular clinical interest in celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Given her general pediatrics training at the Teen Mom Clinic in South Salt Lake, she has experience in adolescent health, with interests in inflammatory bowel disease, functional chronic abdominal pain, and disordered eating for these patients. She believes in understanding all medical, environmental, and psychosocial elements of a patient that may contribute to patient symptoms or decreased quality of life.

She has research interests in endoscopic and clinical quality improvement, including overseeing a unique clinic of former NICU patients who qualify for early hospital discharge due to feeding disorders. She is the program director for the pediatric gastroenterology fellowship and also teaches medical students, residents, and fellows at the School of Medicine. She appreciates a safe, thoughtful approach to medicine and avoids excessive tests or procedures when clinically possible.
