DFW Pediatric Endocrinology Welcome to DFW Pediatric Endocrinology! We see patients from infancy to teenagers and young adults.

I am dr. Anca Pamfil, a dedicated Pediatric Endocrinologist committed to providing exceptional, personalized, unrushed and affordable care for children with endocrine disorders. DFW Pediatric Endocrinology is a direct specialty care pediatric endocrine clinic, born from a desire to bring back the traditional personalized model of medical care and prioritize the physician-patient relationship versus administrative tasks. As a parent and endocrine patient herself, Dr. Pamfil understands that doctor visits are often stressful for both patients and their families, and even more so in the pediatric population. Children are not smaller adults and they require tailored endocrine care, not just from a medical perspective, but also from a psychological one. Dr. Pamfil is therefore committed to bring back the traditional way of practicing medicine, where one should never feel rushed or unheard, and patients should never leave her office without all of their concerns and questions being addressed. Using a patient-centered, evidence-based approach to care , we offer specialized endocrine medical expertise tailored to your child needs, while prioritizing preventive care, wellness education and lifestyle changes, and empowering parents and children along the way. We address a multitude of pediatric endocrine disorders including: growth, puberty, thyroid and menstrual conditions and have a personalized approach to health and wellness. In our clinic, you will find a warm welcoming environment where compassionate, individualized, unrushed and evidence-based pediatric endocrine care is at the heart of everything we do.

🦋 October 21 is World Iodine Deficiency Day!

Iodine is a tiny nutrient with a very important job. It helps the thyroid make the hormones children need for healthy growth, metabolism, and brain development. 🧠🌱

Good sources of iodine include fish and seafood, dairy products, eggs, and iodized salt. One thing many families may not realize: not all salt is iodized.

Today is a good reminder that when it comes to nutrition, sometimes the smallest things can make a big difference. đź’™

Healthy thyroid. Healthy growth. Brighter tomorrows.

đź§ đź’™ October is Pituitary Awareness Month!

It may be tiny, but the pituitary gland has a big job! It helps guide your child’s growth, puberty, thyroid and adrenal function, and many of the hormones that keep their body in balance.

This month, we’re shining a little extra light on this small but mighty gland—and the important role it plays in helping children grow, develop, and thrive. 🌱

Small gland. Big impact. Brighter tomorrows. đź’™

📏 Kids don’t grow at the same pace all the time!

During puberty, they go through their fastest growth phase, called Peak Height Velocity.
👧 Often around ages 11–12 in girls
👦 Often around ages 13–14 in boys

Have concerns about your child’s growth or puberty? A pediatric endocrinology evaluation may help. 💙

A meaningful day to reflect on purpose, gratitude, and the privilege of caring for children and families. Grateful for this work and the people who make it meaningful đź’ť

Children grow at different tempos — and that’s normal.
👯‍♀️Girls typically enter puberty earlier, so they hit their peak height velocity sooner and finish growing earlier.
👦Boys start later, peak later, and finish later.
This difference explains why girls may be taller in middle school, while boys often catch up in high school.

âś…Understanding these timelines helps parents avoid unnecessary worry and gives kids room to grow on their own biological schedule.

Save this for later and share with other parents who might find it helpful. đź’™

Many parents believe kids grow until their early 20s — but height growth actually slows and stops much earlier.

Here’s what most families don’t know:
👧 Girls are usually done growing in height by ~15–16
👦 Boys are usually done growing in height by ~16–17

Growth after that is mostly bone density + muscle, not height.

If you’re wondering about early bloomers, late bloomers, or how to tell if your child is still growing — you’re not alone. I see these questions every week in clinic.

đź’™ One of my favorite patients to see in clinic: children born with congenital hypothyroidism

• Being born with hypothyroidism does not mean lifelong weight gain
• Early diagnosis and proper treatment help keep thyroid levels right where they should be
• Healthy thyroid levels support normal growth and metabolism
• Weight changes later on are rarely caused by congenital hypothyroidism itself
• Ongoing follow-up and dose adjustments really matter

✨ Well-treated congenital hypothyroidism ≠ lifelong weight problems
