Pediatric Endocrinology
Our pediatric specialists understand how to diagnose and treat complex endocrine conditions, which can affect your child’s appetite, blood sugar, and energy level.
Your child’s endocrine system produces a wide array of hormones that are vital to normal growth and development. Too much or too little of these hormones can lead to growth disorders, diabetes, weight gain or other types of problems. Some children also develop tumors in the glands that produce these hormones or are affected by a glandular disease.
We work closely with other Holtz Children’s Hospital specialists on our multidisciplinary medical team to develop a comprehensive, personalized plan for the treatment and management of these diseases and disorders.
Our pediatric endocrinologists treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Growth disorders
- Diabetes mellitus
- Obesity linked to diabetes
- Hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism
- Thyroid cancer
- Thyroid nodules/goiter
- Sexual hormone disorders
- Glandular tumors
- Pituitary tumors
- Adrenal insufficiency/disorders
- Cushing’s Syndrome
