Every child grows at their own pace, but certain signs may suggest the need for a specialist evaluation. Recognizing these early can give families clarity and peace of mind.

The team behind
your child’s care

Guided by Dr. Sung S. Choi

I Grow Clinic is led by Dr. Sung S. Choi, a board‑certified physician with more than a decade of experience in pediatric growth care. She founded the clinic to give families clarity and compassionate guidance.


Alongside her, our nurse practitioners and care team ensure every family receives consistent support and attentive follow‑up.

What to Expect and How We Track Progress

At I Grow Clinic, treatment is not a one‑time event, it’s a guided journey. From the first evaluation
to ongoing monitoring, we make sure you always know what’s happening and why.

Initial
evaluation

Baseline studies and growth assessments during the first 1–2 visits.

Personalized
plan

A clear roadmap that explains treatment options, monitoring, and timelines.

Ongoing
monitoring

Regular check‑ins every 3–4 months with height velocity, bone age, and labs as needed.

Progress &
expectations

We refine plans based on results and discuss realistic ranges without overpromising.

Safety of Growth
Hormone Treatment

At I Grow Clinic, we know it can be discouraging to hear that your child’s height is “just genetics.” But that’s not the end of the story. For families whose children don’t qualify for growth therapy through insurance, we offer safe, doctor-supervised private treatment options.
Safe, Proven, and FDA-Approved
Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) was FDA-approved in 1985 after extensive research confirmed its safety and benefits. For decades, growth hormone therapy has safely helped children reach their full growth potential. Studies and leading endocrine societies confirm no long-term side effects when treatment is properly prescribed and monitored.

Before treatment, each child receives a full medical evaluation to ensure safety and suitability.

Our evaluation includes:

  • Laboratory testing to review hormone and metabolic health

  • Growth-plate X-ray assessment to confirm bone maturity and suitability for treatment

Throughout treatment, our physicians provide:

  • Individualized treatment plans with carefully monitored dosing

  • Regular growth assessments to track progress

  • Follow-up care, which includes:

    • Regular blood tests to track hormone levels and response

    • X-rays to assess bone growth and maturity

    • Telehealth or in-person visits to review and adjust treatment
