Our pediatric endocrinologists are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of common growth disorders, many of which are due to endocrine disorders. The University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital endocrine disorder specialists are pioneers in studying endocrine disorders affecting growth and pubertal development. We had the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary program in Minnesota to diagnose and treat children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). This program partners with the Department of Health, other centers in Minnesota and the Midwest to provide new research that helps change the care of children with CAH.

We are involved in numerous clinical trials aimed at developing new and better therapies for children with disorders of growth and precocious puberty. Our multidisciplinary team works together to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a wide range of growth disorders and will provide unique care options to meet the needs of your child.
