Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism

The Endocrinology Service is a team of world-leading authorities who deliver compassionate and personal care in the specialized field of endocrinology, which includes disorders of lipid metabolism (high cholesterol and triglycerides), bone metabolism (osteoporosis), and diabetes.

  • Parathyroid – Hypercalcemia
  • Pituitary – Prolactinoma, acromegaly
  • Testis – Hypogonadism
  • Thyroid – Hyper- and hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer
