13 10/12 boy 5'1.5", bone age 13 - minimal signs of puberty. is there any reason to see an endocrinologist for further height work up now or wait 6m?

Puberty: It's time to see your pediatric endocrinologist. I presume your son has had regular visits to his doctor and must have on record his progressive height and weight. That will help the endocrinologist begin to work out your son's issues.
