People see this specialist when a child or adolescent has hormonal or growth disorders, such as short stature, early or delayed puberty, thyroid problems, or childhood diabetes.

What to expect at the consultation?

At the visit, the growth and development history is reviewed, weight and height are examined, and blood tests or imaging studies are usually ordered to assess the child's glands.

How to prepare for your appointment?

Bring the vaccination record or the child's height and weight log, their prior studies, and the list of medications. Note the family's questions about the child's development.
