What does a pediatric endocrinologist treat?
We care for children with growth concerns, early or delayed puberty, thyroid issues, and hormone-related conditions that affect development, mood, or metabolism.
Do I need a referral to make an appointment?
No referral is needed. You can schedule directly with us. There are no insurance approvals or delays.
What is direct-pay care?
Direct-pay means you work with us directly rather than through insurance. This allows for longer visits, quicker access, clear pricing, and a more personal connection with your doctor.
What does the initial visit include?
The first visit includes a full hour with Dr. Pauley to review your child’s growth history, symptoms, and overall health. The goal is clarity, options, and a plan.
How much does it cost?
The initial consultation is $495. Ongoing care is $195 per month, which includes monthly check-ins and direct phone or text access to Dr. Pauley. Labs and additional services are priced separately.
What if I only want one visit or a second opinion?
That is perfectly fine. Many families come for a one-time visit or a second opinion. We are happy to offer insight even if you do not continue ongoing care.
Are labs included in the cost?
Labs and tests are billed separately. We share clear pricing beforehand and recommend only what is necessary.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We are usually able to see new patients within 1 to 2 weeks. There are no long waitlists or referral delays.
