## Board-certified Pediatric Gastroenterologist Tim Blaufuss, D.O.

[Dakota Pediatric Associates](/article/face-of-pediatric-primary-care-dakota-pediatric-associates) brings together primary pediatric care and pediatric subspecialty expertise under one roof, creating a unique model focused entirely on children and families. Dr. Tim Blaufuss serves as the practice's pediatric gastroenterologist and is the only permanent board-certified pediatric gastroenterologist in North Dakota.

A North Dakota native, Dr. Blaufuss has cared for children across the state for more than eight years. He represents a second-generation pediatric gastroenterologist, following in the footsteps of his father who practiced as a solo pediatric gastroenterologist in Fargo for more than 35 years.

Dr. Blaufuss cares for children with common concerns such as abdominal pain, constipation, and poor growth, as well as more complex conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Through local care in Fargo and telemedicine services, his goal is to help families throughout North Dakota and western Minnesota receive expert pediatric gastroenterology care close to home.
