Pediatric Endocrinology, headed by Stephen C. Duck, MD and his colleague Stephanie Drobac, MD, focuses on disorders of hormones. Problems related to hormonal control (too much or too little) involve growth, sexual development, thyroid disorders, adrenal gland disorders, and bone health. Diabetes mellitus also is a very important condition that involves the hormone system. Our Team of physicians, nurse educators, dietitians and clinical counselors (resources) are focused on diagnosing and supporting any endocrine problem that your child may have.
