St. Luke's Children's Essence Clinic

St. Luke's Clinic - Genetics and Metabolic is the only clinic of its kind in Idaho, with an expert team of physicians, genetic counselors, and a metabolic dietitian. Our goal is to provide a medical home for adults and children with genetic syndromes and metabolic conditions of inborn errors of metabolism. We also aid in the diagnostic evaluation of people from infancy to adulthood with unexplained growth or developmental problems, seizures, hypotonia, hypermobility, physical differences, connective tissue disorders, and other concerns.

The multidisciplinary team at St. Luke's Children's Muscular Dystrophy Clinic specializes in the diagnosis and medical management of neuromuscular diseases. Through our clinic, patients and families can expect to receive medical interventions that address disease symptoms and progression with a focus on enhancing quality of life and independence. Patients are typically scheduled in the clinic once a year, with children seen by several different healthcare specialists all at one location, in one visit. We see patients on the fourth Monday of each month from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
