Health is a vital sign. It is an important thing we monitor at well visits, which is why routine check-ups are important. But when is growth a concern? Tune in to hear me talk with Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger, a Pediatric Endocrinologist, about height and kids. We discuss:

  • How percentiles play a role in height
  • Average growth trajectory for kids
  • Workup if height trajectory is a concern including imaging and labs
  • When Growth Hormone is Recommended
