The Center for Growth and Hormonal Disorders
With over 1500 patients a year, the Pediatric Endocrinology Center Zurich (PEZZ) is Switzerland's leading practice for growth disorders and hormonal disorders in infants, children and adolescents. We are constantly developing treatment options with our own research. Questions such as "Is my son too small?" or "Is my daughter getting too big?" concern us every day.
