When a hormonal imbalance causes issues, a primary care provider may refer you to an endocrinologist for testing and treatment.

An endocrinologist is an expert in treating frequently complex (and often chronic) hormonal conditions which can involve several different systems within the body. Our board-certified providers can help diagnose and treat a full spectrum of endocrine and metabolic disorders.

Too much or too little of any hormone can be harmful.

Our bodies produce hormones that control many different functions, including respiration, metabolism, reproduction, sensory perception, movement, sexual development and growth. The endocrine system’s glands and organs secrete hormones that regulate a number of vital functions of our body. Although every organ system in the body secretes or responds to hormones, endocrinology primarily focuses on the endocrine glands whose main function is hormone secretion. These include the hypothalamus, pineal, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, testes and ovaries.
