Endocrinology Care

Our board-certified endocrinologists and specially trained staff provide compassionate, supportive care that is tailored to your specific needs.

Endocrinologists are providers who specialize in treating conditions affecting the endocrine system, which controls the hormones in your body. The endocrine system’s glands and organs release hormones that regulate a number of vital functions of our body.

Hormonal function is a balancing act. Too much or too little of one hormone can have an impact on the release of other hormones. If this hormonal imbalance occurs, some of your body’s systems will not work properly.

Often, your body can self-correct when these imbalances occur. But sometimes, there can be a problem that the body can’t fix itself. In this case, you need to see an endocrinologist, who is an expert in treating frequently complex (and often chronic) conditions which can involve several different systems within the body.

Endocrine Conditions

Our endocrinologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of endocrine disorders.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a lifelong disease that affects your body’s ability to produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that helps your body convert food to glucose (sugar). Your diabetes must be carefully managed with lifestyle changes and/or medication to prevent long-term health problems, including blindness, kidney failure and heart disease. Our center is certified by the American Diabetes Association to treat all three types of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes, and offers specialized pediatric diabetes care.

Thyroid Diseases

If you have too much or too little thyroid hormone, you may experience fatigue, weight gain or loss, and other health problems. In addition to helping balance your thyroid hormone levels with medication, our specialists can also treat thyroid growths, swollen glands and thyroid cancer.

What Do the Adrenal Glands Do?

This pair of glands is found in your abdomen. We also call them the "suprarenal" glands, because they sit on top of the kidneys. But what do they do, exactly? Let's take a look at your adrenal glands.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a result of an imbalance in female sex hormones. The condition can cause skin changes, benign ovarian cysts, or problems with a woman’s menstrual cycle or fertility. Although there is no cure for PCOS, our specialists can help you manage the condition with lifestyle changes and medication.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes weakened bones and can increase your risk of bone fractures. Our specialists can treat your osteoporosis with medication, supplements and lifestyle changes.

Cholesterol (Lipid) Disorders

Lipids are fats in your blood, including cholesterol (HDL and LDL) and triglycerides. When lipids are out of balance, it can increase your risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Our endocrinology team can help you manage your condition with medication and lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity and dietary adjustments.
