Often endocrine disorders have a significant and lasting affect on the patient’s quality of life. As a pediatrician who provides clinical care to children with these disorders I take a holistic approach, treating the patient and family as a whole. I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of patients with a wide array of endocrine disorders. The areas I am in particular interested in are growth disorders, obesity, disorder of sex development and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
