About this Doctor's Primary Specialty

What is an endocrinologist?

Endocrinologists are doctors that are specially trained to diagnose and treat diseases that affect the endocrine system, a widespread group of glands and organs that act as the body's control system in the production, storage, and secretion of hormones. Various diseases that attack the glands can cause imbalances in hormone levels of the body and can affect energy,blood sugar levels, organ function, the reproductive system, and the ability to burn fat.
What do they treat?
Because the endocrine system is so complex and made up of several different components, endocrinologists are often knowledgeable about a wide variety of disorders. The practice of endocrinology encompasses the treatment of one or more of a lengthy list of conditions, including:
  • Diabetes
  • Menopause
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Osteoporosis
  • Hypertension
  • Infertility
  • Metabolic disorders
  • Pituitary disorders
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
