About

Aaron Carrel, MD, is a UW Health Kids pediatric endocrinologist. He also serves as a professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes.

Dr. Carrel diagnoses and treats children with a wide range of hormone conditions such as obesity, diabetes, growth disorders, thyroid problems and puberty issues. His special clinical interests include childhood growth disorders and obesity.

During initial visits, Dr. Carrel enjoys talking with his patients and families and getting to know them. He listens to their concerns, explains their conditions in plain language and outlines their treatment options.

Dr. Carrel finds it rewarding to care for children as they grow older. He works to help his patients manage their conditions and feel good about themselves. In many cases, he teaches children how to increase their fitness levels to improve their overall health and well-being.

When not providing direct patient care, Dr. Carrel researches children’s cardiovascular fitness and their risk for insulin resistance and diabetes.

During his free time, Dr. Carrel enjoys running, walking, gardening and reading.

I help children feel good about themselves. I teach them to be active and keep their bodies as strong and healthy as possible.
