Endocrinology

Endocrinology is a specialty that focuses on the body’s endocrine glands and the treatment of the endocrine system. The endocrine glands include the parathyroid (calcium and bone hormones), thyroid, pituitary, adrenals, ovaries, testes and pancreas. Disorders within these glands are a result of the overproduction or underproduction of their related hormones. Hormones maintain a balance of the body’s function.

Your first visit is a time to talk through what you have been feeling. Your provider may review your symptoms, medications, health history and recent lab results.

You may need blood work or other testing to help your care team better understand your hormone health. Before you leave, you should know what your next step is and when to follow up.
