Children’s Endocrinology

Comprehensive care for children and adolescents with endocrinology disorders, including diabetes, growth disorders, thyroid conditions and more. Endocrinology disorders in children require a team approach — engaging not only the child and their family, but also existing primary care providers and other needed pediatric specialties to ensure every child receives a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. Conditions and diseases associated with a child’s endocrine system are often much different than their adult counterparts. Our Diabetes and Endocrinology Program and pediatric endocrinologists are highly qualified to treat diabetes and other pediatric conditions related to growth and development with sensitivity and compassion. These experts are well versed in pediatric hormonal conditions affecting growth and sexual development and understand fully their impact on a child’s physical and emotional health. We collaborate with many local Virginia health care providers, including the George Mason University Center for Psychological Services and the Inova Center for Wellness and Metabolic Health, to provide children and their families access to the best possible care close to home.
