Caring for the Child, Teaching the Family

At the Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital, we understand that the whole family is often affected when a child has an endocrine disorder (glandular, thyroidal, adrenal, etc.) or diabetes. Our dedicated team of highly trained physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and nutritionists are here for you. We provide a coordinated approach to diagnosing and treating all forms of endocrine and diabetes problems in children and adolescents, as well as disorders related to growth and puberty.

The Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital offers outstanding pediatric endocrinology and diabetic care. Our board-certified, skilled physicians, work alongside an expert staff of nurses, diabetic educators, dieticians, social workers, and nurse practitioners. We take the time to explain treatment and plans to both child and parent, and in order to reduce the child’s anxiety, we evaluate and deliver care that is child-friendly, in an environment created just for them.
