Endocrinology is the study of hormones produced by the endocrine glands, and a pediatric endocrinologist specializes in treating hormone-related issues in children. Our team of experts focuses on conditions affecting glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands, which play crucial roles in growth, metabolism, puberty, and overall health.

One common condition we treat is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), a genetic disorder that affects hormone production in the adrenal glands. Our clinic offers thorough diagnostic testing, including blood work and bone age x-rays, to accurately diagnose and manage CAH in children. Treatment typically involves daily steroid medications and regular monitoring to ensure optimal hormone levels.

In addition to hormone disorders, we also specialize in evaluating and treating growth-related issues in children. Delayed growth, poor weight gain, and short stature are all concerns that our team addresses through comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment plans. We work closely with families to determine the underlying causes of growth problems and develop effective strategies for promoting healthy development.

Furthermore, we offer expert care for children and teens struggling with abnormal weight gain or obesity. Our clinic conducts thorough evaluations, including blood tests and physical exams, to identify potential underlying conditions contributing to weight issues. We understand the complex factors influencing weight gain and provide tailored interventions to support long-term health and well-being.

At Mississippi Pediatric Endocrine Care, we are committed to empowering young patients to thrive by providing compassionate, family-centered care. Our team of dedicated professionals is here to support children and families on their journey to optimal health and wellness.
