We help your child transition to adulthood. Our pediatric endocrinologists work collaboratively with specialists throughout Duke Health, so we make it easier for your older teen to transition to adult care and services.  

Experts in Genetic Obesity Disorders
We are experts in evaluating and managing genetic obesity disorders, including Prader-Willi syndrome and other conditions that cause severe weight gain in early childhood. Our team includes a pediatric endocrinologist and nutritionists who work closely with sleep specialists, gastroenterologists, psychologists, and developmental pediatricians.

Access to the Latest Research
Our pediatric endocrinologists are also researchers. As an example, we were the first hospital to use insulin pumps for infants and toddlers with diabetes; we were also among the earliest to show the benefits of medicine in treating obese and prediabetic children.

We offer a variety of family-friendly services to explain what’s happening -- to your child and their siblings -- and offer emotional support to the entire family.

Our child life specialists offer support, education, and guidance to help you and your child during treatment and hospitalization.
