Endocrinology

Here in the Division of Endocrinology at Children’s Hospital Boston, we understand that children with endocrine disorders face unique challenges. 

Our program brings together experienced pediatric endocrinologists, endocrinology nurses, diabetes nurse educators, registered dietitians and mental health professionals to guide you and your family from diagnosis through the early challenges of managing your child’s condition. 

Your child’s medical team will build a customized plan of treatment designed to keep your child healthy — and allow her to enjoy the wonders of childhood.

Throughout the entire treatment process, you’ll receive compassionate family-centered care from a truly integrated medical team. We can see you either at our Boston campus or at one of several locations throughout Eastern Massachusetts.

Among the services we provide:

• The pediatric endocrinologists, specialist diabetes nurse educators and dietitians in our Type 1 Diabetes Program work together as a team to design a customized plan of care for your child.
   
• We are one of the only medical centers in the country offering a dedicated, multidisciplinary program for type 2 diabetes.
   
• We can evaluate your child’s bone density — safely and painlessly — in our Bone Health Program’s state-of-the-art DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) Center.
