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 doctors 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.
