I just turned 18 years old and saw a pediatric endo two years ago. I have always had short stature throughout life but part was blamed on my bone age being behind. I was continuously monitored and saw different doctors. I since moved away from my old pediatric endocrinologist who told me to come back in a year. Its now two years and i was wondering if I should go to a ped endo or a regular endo. Wouldn't a pediatric endo have more expearience with short stature? Problem is, its really hard to get an appointment with pediatric endocrinologist and cant get one until November. Opinions please!

I think you're old enough to see a regular endocrinologist.

What was your diagnosis under your previous doctor? You could alwaysjust see an Internist and then be referred to the appropriate specialist as necessary. Good luck!
