Endocrinology Care
The endocrine system is a complex group of glands and organs that produce and regulate hormones in the bloodstream to control many functions of the body - such as reproduction, metabolism and growth and development.
Hormones also control the way you respond to your surroundings, and they help provide the proper amount of energy and nutrition your body needs to function. The major glands that make up the endocrine system include the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, ovaries, testes, adrenal, pituitary and hypothalamus.
Primary care providers refer you to an endocrinologist when there is a problem with your endocrine system. We can help with treatment options for:
- Thyroid disorders
- Adrenal disorders
- Gender dysphoria
- Osteoporosis
- Hypoglycemia
- Hyperglycemia
