Endocrinology is the treatment of diseases that affect your glands. Endocrinologists are trained to treat conditions, which are complex and involve many systems and structures within your body. Your doctor may refer you to an Endocrinologist when you are experiencing a problem with your Endocrine system.
The Endocrine system deals with a complex system of glands. Glands are organs that make hormones; hormones control reproduction, metabolism, growth and development. Hormones also control the way you respond to your surroundings. They help you to provide the proper amount of energy and nutrition that your body needs to function. The endocrine glands include the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, ovaries, testes, adrenal, pituitary and hypothalamus.
New patients are accepted on a physician referral basis.
