Peds Endo: They will take a thorough history and conduct a thorough physical exam. They will examine the genitalia to see what stage of development they are in. They will plot out growth to see where the patient falls in % compared to other children. They may take blood tests and / or observe, ie follow up for re exam in a set time period.
