Dr. I. P. S. Kochar

Dr I P S Kochar is a paediatric and adolescent endocrinologist at Apollo Hospitals, Delhi. He has more than 16 years of experience in the specialty and holds MBBS, MD, MAMS and MRCPH. His work focuses on hormonal and metabolic concerns affecting children and adolescents.

His interests include growth disorders, diabetes, thyroid disease, obesity and general endocrine problems. He also assesses growth hormone deficiency, precocious puberty and congenital hypothyroidism. Some children require serial growth measurements, hormone tests or other investigations to distinguish normal variation from a condition needing treatment.

He helped establish a paediatric endocrine department and programmed investigation unit at the hospital. He also worked in UK institutions and developed paediatric endocrine departments in the UAE. These roles provide context for a specialist assessment that may involve families and other clinicians over time.

Parents can bring growth charts, previous laboratory results, medicine records and relevant imaging to the consultation. He consults in English, Hindi and Punjabi. The hospital can confirm current appointment availability and any preparatory investigations needed for a child. Decisions about insulin, growth hormone or other therapy require individual diagnosis and follow up.
