Puberty & Growth Concerns

Puberty is a complex process! Drs. Fridy, Myszko, and Hoang have specialized training and experience in the evaluation and management of puberty and growth concerns throughout adolescence into young adulthood, such as:

  • Precocious puberty

  • Delayed puberty

  • Hormonal abnormalities

  • Height and growth concerns

Too short? Too tall? Too early? Too late? Too fast? Not fast enough? If puberty and growth are confusing to you and/or your child, that’s because it’s a complex process!

At Tribeca Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine, our doctors are specially trained to work with patients who are going through puberty or will soon be starting the process, and can help patients, as well as their caregivers, navigate this complex and potentially confusing territory. Our doctors perform a thorough evaluation of puberty and growth in order to help diagnose any abnormalities. Evaluations typically consist of a comprehensive physical exam, lab measurements including relevant hormone levels, and potentially radiographic imaging studies. Our doctors also collaborate closely with an extensive network of expert professionals, including endocrinologists and other specialized consultants throughout New York City and the surrounding areas, as well as country wide. Uniquely, at Tribeca Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine, Drs. Fridy, Myszko, and Hoang see patients as early as their pre-teen years and can continue providing care through young adulthood. This allows them to provide long-term, personalized, highly attentive medical care in a concierge setting in order to support patients from the earliest stages of puberty as they grow and mature into adults.
