Endocrinology Service Chief
“Endocrinologists, being perfectionists, take pride in our team of brilliant, adaptable professionals (M.D.s, APRNs, R.N.s). We don’t rely on expensive equipment or fancy exam rooms — just meaningful conversations with families to address their concerns and develop tailored therapy plans. Our commitment to patient health and providing state-of-the-art care remains unwavering. This dedication is the foundation of our practice and will drive our future growth.”
Jon Oden, M.D.
- Pediatric endocrinologist and chief of endocrinology at Arkansas Children’s - James H. Hamlen II Endowed Chair in Pediatric Endocrinology - Professor of pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
