Cape Fear Valley Health’s pediatric endocrinology center offers assessment and comprehensive care for babies, children and teens with endocrine disorders.
Our Approach to Pediatric Endocrinology
Since 2008, Cape Fear Valley Health’s Pediatric Endocrinology Services has helped children and their family treat complex endocrine and hormonal disorders.
How your journey with us begins
A referral from your primary care provider is necessary prior to your first visit with us. We strive to see you within two weeks of that referral for your first appointment. We take the time to get to know you, your family and your child.
Our pediatric specialists will talk with you and your child about each step along this journey to better health.
To make your treatment plan, your team will consider your child’s:
- Health history
- Lab tests
- Symptoms that caused your child to visit the physician
- Physical exam
- Screenings
- Your family’s needs
