It's been an advantage to me to be double-boarded in adult and pediatric endocrinology because
I'm able to take a patient that has a problem - and gets older - and simply transition them
within my own practice to more adult care. And this happens a lot with hormone deficiencies
of one kind or another - thyroid or growth - and particularly with diabetes, type 1 diabetes
more than type 2.
There has to be a trust established not only with the patient but with the family because
the family often controls where the patient is going to be receiving their care.
