With hormone fluctuations and growth and regulatory issues, endocrine disorders can impact every part of your child’s or teenager’s life – physically, emotionally and socially – making it hard to choose the best care plan.
At Marshall Health, our board-certified pediatric endocrinologist, physician assistant, certified diabetes educator, registered dietician and nurses will work with you and your child to ensure they receive the care and resources needed to thrive.
Pediatric endocrinologists diagnose, treat and manage children who are experiencing problems with growth, puberty, diabetes or other disorders related to the hormones and the glands that produce them.
Hormones are chemicals that affect how other parts of the body work. For example, hormones decide how a child grows and matures. Endocrine glands, such as the pituitary gland, release hormones into the bloodstream. Endocrinology is the science that studies these glands and the effects of the hormones.
