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

I was unexpectedly a patient at Peterson for four days, from the emergency room to the West Wing of the 3rd floor. Everyone - nurses, doctors, technicians, maintenance staff, food service, administrators, etc. - treated me with care and concern. I certainly did not want to be in the hospital, but they all made the stay a lot easier. Any call from me was answered immediately. The doctor on staff during my stay explained things in terms I could understand. Food service checked with me if I hadn't called as usual. Special services personnel checked on me there and when I got home. And, a special thank you to the wonderful nurses and technicians who were with me 24 hrs a day. You all are great!
