[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our visit today was that children’s national as well.  What a coincidence.  We will call Dr Cutriss too. Thank you for the info.  My son’s situation seems so similar to your son’s.  It is so hard to find a good doctor.

[quote=Anonymous]OP we had a very similar office visit with an endocrinologist at Children's National. I asked for labs to be run and was denied that as well, (which is ridiculous IMO) based on an almost closed hand x-ray for my 15 year old. We were also all upset and don't really feel like our son is finished growing. Based on our heights, charts show him growing to 5'10" but he is 5'5". We ended up seeing Dr. Nicolas Cuttriss who is out of network but did put him on an aromatase inhibitor and he ran lots of labs. It has only been 6 months and we need a follow up but at least he didn't completely close the door on things. My son's puberty stage sounds very similar to you sons. [/quote][/quote]

I wonder if we saw the same doctor. We also saw a female doc there. Good luck, I definitely think it makes sense to get another opinion. My son was almost 15 when we went to Children's, his growth took a nosedive on the charts between 14 and 15 but he has always been small. He finally broke the 50th percentile mark at 13 but it went down to maybe 30th at 15 which is why we took him on the later side. Hopefully you can connect with a doctor willing to dig deeper and hopefully your son is feeling ok. Mine was also very upset after his appointment.[/quote]
