Pediatric Endocrinology
Offering Specialty Care & Screening
Albany Medical Center's Division of Endocrinology provides care to children and adolescents with endocrine disorders and diabetes.
Our program is unique because we are the referral center for the New York State Congenital Hypothyroidism and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Newborn Screening program. Newborns who have abnormal tests on their newborn screening are referred, diagnosed, and treated by our pediatric endocrinology specialists.
To make an appointment with Albany Medical Center, call 518-262-5723.
