Pediatric Endocrinology

Care for hormone and growth conditions, including diabetes

Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Care

childdiabetes

Pediatric endocrinology cares for children with hormone and growth conditions, including diabetes. Some of these conditions are temporary, while others need long-term care. Wherever your child’s needs fall, it’s normal to have questions along the way. 

 

At LifeBridge Health, the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology provides care from testing and diagnosis through treatment and ongoing support. We care for patients from infancy through young adulthood, both in outpatient clinics and in the hospital.

 

Our pediatric endocrinologists, nurses and dietitians work closely with families and primary care providers to create care plans for each child. When needed, we work with other pediatric specialists at Sinai. Care includes on-site stimulation testing in child-friendly spaces and support for the latest diabetes technology.
