ENDOCRINOLOGY

To improve and preserve a person's health, the endocrinologists on the Medcross team assess the connection between diet and human disease. They are also qualified to treat a variety of endocrine abnormalities and dysfunctions. The pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid, pineal, hypothalamus, adrenal and pituitary glands, ovaries, and testes are all parts of the body's endocrine system. Numerous other organs that react to, alter, or metabolize hormones are also involved. Internal medicine's specialization of endocrinology focuses on hormones and the glands that create them, such as the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes, and pancreatic cells that make insulin. Endocrinologists from Medcross offer consultations in cases of severe lipid, thyroid, and other conditions where a hormonal problem is thought to be present.
