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
