Puberty & Growth Concerns
Puberty is a complex process! Dr. Fridy has specialized training and experience in the evaluation and management of puberty and growth concerns throughout adolescence into young adulthood, such as:
-
Precocious puberty
-
Delayed puberty
-
Hormonal abnormalities
-
Height and growth concerns
Too short? Too tall? Too early? Too late? Too fast? Not fast enough? If puberty and growth are confusing to you and/or your child, that’s because it’s a complex process!
