Advancing endocrinology treatment

We provide a full range of routine endocrinology services, as well as treatment for rare and complex conditions. Our specialized services include:

We provide leading-edge endocrine treatment at our medical center in Prosper. Children in Prosper and the surrounding area have easy access to our expert pediatric endocrinologist and specialized nurse practitioner.

Many children can get all their care in Prosper. When needed, you can access specialized experts in Fort Worth. This approach enables us to offer collaborative treatment for complex and rare diagnoses.

Our team includes endocrinologists with extensive experience treating Turner syndrome. This rare genetic condition occurs in females who have only one X chromosome. It can cause a range of issues, including growth problems, heart defects, kidney concerns, delayed puberty, infertility, Russell-Silver syndrome and impaired bone health.

Research shows that children who get multispecialty treatment experience better outcomes. That's why we partner with genetic counselors, cardiologists, nephrologists, audiologists and behavioral health specialists to provide comprehensive care.

Several of our endocrinologists have a special interest in thyroid care. We have the skills to manage all thyroid diagnoses, including complex disease and thyroid cancer. Our endocrinologists work closely with oncologists and thyroid surgeons to deliver best-in-class treatment.

22Q deletion syndrome, also called DiGeorge syndrome, is a common genetic condition. It occurs when part of a child's DNA on chromosome 22 is missing. Although symptoms vary, in some cases, the condition can cause multiple health problems.

Our specialized clinic brings together endocrinologists, cardiologists, geneticists, immunologists, speech therapists and craniofacial specialists. Your child has access to convenient, coordinated care, where you meet with all the necessary specialists in one visit.
