Endocrinology

Treating a wide range of hormonal disorders

Our board-certified pediatric endocrinologists at Prisma Health Children's Hospital–Midlands evaluate and treat children and young adults with a wide range of hormonal disorders in Columbia, Lexington and across the Midlands region of South Carolina.

With specializations including diabetic care, our Palmetto Health-USC Pediatric Endocrinology physicians and nurse practitioners work in conjunction with our American Diabetes Association-certified experts at Prisma Health Richland Hospital. We are also involved in clinical research involving a variety of hormonal disturbances.
