Endocrinology & Diabetes Care

The Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes evaluates and treats children from birth to age 18 with all type of endocrine disorders including type 1 and type 2 diabetes, short stature and other growth disorders, early and delayed puberty, menstrual irregularities, and thyroid and adrenal disorders. A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, nutritionists, and social workers provides family-focused care to patients with diabetes and other endocrine disorders. Because the diagnosis of a chronic disease affects both the child and their family—we believe it's important to care for the whole child, rather than simply treating a child’s illness. Whether that means counseling your family about healthy nutrition or devising treatment plans for diabetes or other endocrine disorders, our team of experts is here to help.
