Helping Kids Feel Healthy and Well
An endocrine system disorder can disrupt many parts of a child or teen's life, from growth and weight to their daily energy levels. Not only can endocrine diseases take a physical toll, but they can also bring feelings of isolation and low self-esteem.
That's why our pediatric endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism experts focus on the whole health of every child in body, mind and spirit. Count on us to create a personalized care plan for your child's unique needs.

Conditions We Treat
- Diabetes
-
Pediatric diabetes causes high blood sugar levels because of the body’s inability to properly use or produce insulin. We can treat a wide range of specific conditions, including:
- Type 1 diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes
- MODY
- Neonatal diabetes
- CF-related diabetes
- Steroid-induced diabetes/hyperglycemia
- Hypoglycemia
-
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar is too low. It’s most common in those with diabetes but can occur for other reasons, including:
- Disorders of energy and metabolism/mitochondrial disease
- Neuroendocrine tumors
- Hypopituitarism/diabetes insipidus
- Bone Health
-
We treat many disorders that impact children’s bone health, including:
- Osteogenesis imperfecta
- Osteoporosis secondary to anorexia/eating disorder

- Disorders of the parathyroid glands
- Hypercalcemia/hypocalcemia

- Delayed puberty
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
