Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see an endocrinologist?

You should consider seeing an endocrinologist if you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight changes, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, or abnormal hormone levels. A referral from your primary care doctor is often required.

What can I expect during my first visit?

Your endocrinologist will review your symptoms and medical history, perform a physical exam, and may order blood tests, imaging, or other diagnostic procedures. A personalized treatment plan will be developed based on your results.

Is diabetes different from other endocrine disorders?

Yes. Diabetes specifically affects blood sugar regulation, while other endocrine disorders may involve glands like the thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary. All require specialized care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Can hormone disorders be cured?

Some conditions, like temporary thyroiditis, may resolve over time. Others, like diabetes or PCOS, are chronic but manageable. Our goal is to help you control symptoms and live a healthy, active life.

Do you offer support for weight management?

Yes. Our team provides medical and lifestyle support for patients dealing with obesity and metabolic syndrome, including nutrition counseling and medication options.
