? question ?: From your data showing a bone age of 14, expected final height would be about 5 foot. Predicted height from parental height alone would be 5'7.5" but if the bone age is accurate, there is no room for that much growth.A pediatric endocrinologist could confirm the issue.

Peds endocrinologist: This is really specialized care that you want to see a pediatric endocrinologist. She is right at the borderline of being appropriate for growth hormone treatment. Growth hormone treatment is very expensive. But using it now might be able to have her gain a couple more inches in height.
