In this episode of CHOC Radio, Sandy Preasmyer, a nurse practitioner on CHOC’s Endocrinology team, discusses:
- Warning signs parents can look for that may reflect a possible thyroid issue
- The most common thyroid problems in kids, and how CHOC’s endocrinology specialists treat them
- How CHOC’s endocrinology specialty programs enhance quality of life for patients
