With childhood obesity, diabetes and other endocrine disorders on the rise, we use a team approach to give children the best possible care. Our distinguished team includes UT Southwestern physicians practicing at Children's Health, as well as dietitians, psychologists and social workers, all working together to deliver therapies and support for everything from diabetes to obesity to gender-affirming care.
And, as one of the nation’s busiest endocrinology teams – we log more than 18,000 outpatient visits and 700 inpatient admissions a year – we have the expertise to match each patient with the treatment that’s right for them.
