He also works with children who have genetic abnormalities that may cause endocrine problems.

Methodology

This is conducted through:

Consultations​

Dr Aqeel will review the child’s medical history, perform a physical exam, and order any necessary lab tests or imaging studies.

Testing

These tests may include blood tests, imaging studies (such as X-rays, Ultrasound, MRI, etc.), and hormone stimulation tests.

Treatment

Once a diagnosis has been made, Dr Aqeel will work with the child and their family to develop a treatment plan. Treatment may include medications, hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery in some cases.

Holistic Support

He makes an extra effort to provide tailored treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each child.
