What is endocrinology?

An endocrinologist is a specialist who diagnoses and treats hormone-related disorders, focusing not only on the hormones themselves but also on the glands and tissues that produce them. Hormones are very important to so many of our body’s systems and functions – they regulate metabolism, respiration, growth, reproduction, sensory perception, even movement.

Any imbalance in this delicate system can lead to a wide variety of complications and disorders, including:

  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid
  • Thyroid Cancer
  • Pituitary
  • Adrenal
  • Obesity
  • Parathyroid
  • Osteoporosis
  • Male and Female Hormones

What patients say about Peterson Health

From the time I entered, in the predawn hours, until I was released the next day, every member of the staff was not just competent, but they were overly caring, exceptionally kind and exceedingly warm and friendly. They took their time, explained procedures, visited with me when they had time and made my stay comfortable, easy, and dare I say – pleasant and fun!
