Consultation for children and adolescents

Please bring all growth data that you have to the first appointment e.g. test documentation and measurements. In the event that your child has another disease, medical result reports can be of use. We also require data on the parents’ height (possibly also grandparents’ height) and if possible details on the puberty development of the parents in addition to the birth data. We generally make an x-ray of the left hand. This helps us draw conclusions on the stage of development and the possible final height.

Please expect us to take your child’s blood to check the hormone values and as applicable other laboratory chemical parameters.
