Featured Clinics

Early-Precocity & Short-Stature Screening

Based on a child's growth velocity, developmental stage and genetic potential, the team performs a comprehensive assessment, selectively completes relevant precocity or short-stature investigations, and gives guidance on diet, sleep and exercise — referring on to a specialist clinic for intervention when appropriate.

Stimulation Testing (One-Stop)

As clinically needed, the department can complete a full set of assessments in one visit — growth-hormone stimulation, sex-hormone stimulation and glucose-tolerance testing. A rich choice of subsequent medication formulations is available (long-acting and short-acting growth hormone; one-month and three-month puberty-delaying inhibitors), together with injection teaching, precaution guidance and ongoing follow-up tracking.

Our Specialists

The team is led by Associate Chief Physicians Zhang Miaoying (MD), Pei Zhou (MD), Xi Li (MD) and Zheng Zhangqian — delivering expert, continuous endocrine care for children and adolescents.
