Parents want to know everything out of love for their child.
They want to trust a diagnosis, and not worry that something was missed.

If your child has been diagnosed with an endocrine condition

slow growth, short stature, or growth hormone deficiency
Hashimoto's thyroiditis or hypothyroidism,
precocious or rapidly progressive puberty,
adrenal concern including congenital adrenal hyperplasia,
unexplained weight gain and insulin resistance,
PCOS, absent or irregular periods, or hormonal concerns.

HOW DR. LERNER CAN HELP
​
Start seeking answers with your child's own health care provider and, if available, a pediatric endocrinologist.
Read about a diagnosis, including answers to many of the questions parents have, through the LEARN ABOUT links above.
An appointment with me is helpful if you need more - more time, and more conversation about the concerns and questions you have about a child's diagnosis.
​
I teach parents like you what you want to know so your child can receive optimal care.
​
At your appointment, we will review together your child's blood tests, previous reports and evaluations. These documents will help inform my discussion with you, to direct my teaching toward your child's precise diagnosis. Important documents include growth charts in growing children, laboratory results, consultation reports, imaging reports, and - if possible - images of bone age x-rays.
I will spend two hours with you focused on your child's diagnosis. That time is guided by your questions and concerns, and can include teaching to provide background, as well as a comprehensive conversation prompted by your questions about your child's condition and its treatment.
​
You and your local medical team should rest assured that information will be correct, clear, and comprehensive.
