Tackle Growth Disorders, Early Puberty, and more for your child!
Hope Blooms Here
Childhood is often measured by outgrown shoes, pencil marks on doorframes, and handprints on Mother’s Day gifts. But if the sizes and inches that mark your child’s development refuse to budge or rise faster than expected, it may be a sign there’s a glitch in their hormone production.
When you’re looking for a trusted pediatric endocrinologist in Orlando, FL, turn to The Endocrine Co. We specialize in personalized endocrinology care to bring your child’s body back in balance and improve their quality of life. There’s no waiting at a hospital when you get in touch with The Endocrine Co.

Growth Disorders
If your child’s development doesn’t align with the growth rate of their classmates or their pediatrician detects variations in normal growth patterns, our pediatric endocrinologist in Orlando, FL can help determine what’s speeding up or slowing down hormone production.

Early Puberty
Boys who present signs of puberty before age 9 or girls who do before age 8 are often diagnosed with precocious puberty. The condition usually doesn’t present a health risk, but may be a sign of an underlying health condition and could potentially lead to psychosocial concerns, as well as it could compromise final height.

Delayed Puberty
Teens can feel self-conscious around kids their age if their development stalls. While some kids are just late bloomers, others may require hormone therapy transiently to jump-start puberty. In some instances, children could be in permanent need of hormone replacement.

Thyroid Disorders
The thyroid plays a vital role in a child’s growth, and conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can impact their development. With the right medication, your child can help keep their thyroid in check.

Medically-Supervised Weight Loss
Weight gain isn’t always caused by poor nutrition or a lack of activity – hormones can often be the culprit. Depending on the child’s medical history, Dr. Penny can recommend an action plan to treat the issue.
