Pediatric endocrinology and diabetology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hormonal disorders in children and adolescents. These conditions can affect a child’s growth, development, puberty, metabolism, and overall health.
Our pediatric endocrinology department provides the best comprehensive care focused on the early detection of hormonal disorders and a personalized approach to our youngest patients and their families. Examinations are conducted by an experienced pediatric endocrinologist who assesses not only the child’s current health status but also their growth and development, as well as family history.
New patients can schedule an appointment for an examination, even without a referral. For the convenience of parents, we also offer online scheduling. If you suspect hormonal issues in your child, please schedule an endocrinology examination for children in a timely manner.

Our pediatric endocrinologist (Prague) primarily addresses thyroid disorders in children. In such cases, we diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, as well as an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter). This may also include an endocrinological examination of the thyroid gland, including a thyroid ultrasound if structural changes are suspected.
Pediatric endocrinology includes the diagnosis of diseases of other endocrine glands:
Every endocrinological examination of children is conducted on an individual basis and follows several steps:
Based on the results, the pediatric diabetologist or pediatric endocrinologist may recommend further testing or treatment. If more extensive diagnostics or treatment are needed, we collaborate with other specialized centers.
The patient may be referred, for example, for dynamic hormone testing, comprehensive anthropometric evaluation, or growth hormone therapy. These same patients may also continue to be monitored in the field of adult endocrinology after reaching adulthood.
We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of hormonal disorders. Pediatric diabetology in Prague is part of the broader field of endocrinology, which encompasses diseases of the endocrine glands and metabolic disorders.

Excellent medical services at a professional level. Complete satisfaction.
I go to Dr. Podstolska with my one-year-old daughter. I am very satisfied with her individual approach, willingness to solve even seemingly small things. Of course, she is professional and friendly at the same time. I'm also glad for the pleasant office with a play rug, heating over the changing table, the possibility to drive a stroller up to the office. The care of the nurses and their assistance during appointments is absolutely above and beyond. I also appreciate the texting system that reminds me of my check-up/exam appointment in a timely manner.
