Specializing in growth hormone therapy, puberty management, and complex pediatric hormone conditions, she is known for her gentle bedside manner, clinical precision, and ability to connect with both patients and parents.
“For me, it’s about more than just numbers on a growth chart. It’s about helping families understand what’s possible and guiding them there with clarity and compassion.” — Dr. Gerhardt
