My name is Dr Rakesh Amin and I am a consultant paediatrician specialising in endocrinology and diabetes at Great Ormond Street Hospital and Institute of Child Health in London.

My specialisms include:
growth (short and tall stature)
puberty (early and delayed)
obesity
diabetes
thyroid problems (under and over-active)
other disorders (adrenal, bone, and rare, complex endocrine conditions)

---

The aim of this website is to provide a layman’s explanation of the medical conditions I specialise in so that parents can educate themselves and hopefully be reassured.  If you are in any way concerned about your child, then do consult a specialist in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes.
