Her clinical background includes caring for children with complex endocrine conditions, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, growth concerns, puberty-related conditions, adrenal emergencies, hypoglycemia, obesity-related endocrine concerns, and bone health needs.

Career at a Glance

• Board-certified pediatrician and board-eligible pediatric endocrinologist.
• Completed pediatric endocrinology fellowship at Kravis Children’s Hospital, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
• Served as Chief Fellow from 2024–2025, helping organize academic and call schedules for the fellowship program.
• Recognized with Outstanding Abstract Awards at Endocrine Society ENDO 2023 and ENDO 2024.
• Fluent in English, Hindi and Urdu.

Clinical Role and Leadership

Dr. Siddiqui brings specialized pediatric endocrinology training and academic leadership experience to the care of children and adolescents with hormone-related conditions. During fellowship, she cared for patients in continuity clinics, participated in multidisciplinary diabetes and bone health care clinics, and taught residents and medical students on core endocrine topics. As Chief Fellow, she supported fellowship operations by helping manage academic and call schedules, reflecting both clinical knowledge and collaborative leadership.

She provides specialized care for conditions such as:

• Diabetes, including type 1 diabetes, youth-onset type 2 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis
• Thyroid disorders, including congenital hypothyroidism and Graves’ disease
• Growth disorders and growth disturbances
• Puberty-related conditions, including precocious puberty
• Hypoglycemia
• Adrenal disorders and adrenal emergencies
• Obesity-related endocrine and metabolic concerns
• Bone health concerns
