Drs. Castano & Palmer Pass Boards!

Dr. Palmer
Dr. Castaño

It takes years of training to become a pediatric endocrinologist, requiring at least a decade of studies after college. You could consider this to be the equivalent of completing the “26th grade”. The final step is to pass the Pediatric Endocrinology board exam. We are pleased to report that the two newest doctors in our Division have just passed their Board Exam. Congratulations to Dr. Castano and Dr. Palmer for becoming Board Certified Pediatric Endocrinologists. Their years of hard work and study have enabled them to become fully qualified to diagnose and treat pediatric endocrine conditions.
