Pediatric Endocrinology
Comprehensive Hormone & Metabolic Care for Infants, Children, and Teens.
Expert management of diabetes, growth, puberty, thyroid, adrenal, and bone disorders—guiding kids into healthy adulthood.
The Pediatric Endocrinology Service diagnoses and treats hormonal and metabolic conditions affecting children from birth through adolescence. Services include intensive diabetes management, comprehensive growth and puberty clinics, a multidisciplinary obesity program, thyroid and adrenal disorder care, bone-health monitoring, and gender-development support. Close collaboration with pediatric surgery, cardiology, nephrology, neurosurgery, and the Trust Fertility Clinic ensures integrated care.
