  • Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism: Diagnosing and treating underactive (hypothyroidism) and overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid conditions.
  • Thyroid Nodules and Cancer: Assessing thyroid nodules through imaging and biopsies and managing thyroid cancer with surgery, radioactive iodine, and hormone therapy.
  • Graves’ Disease: Treating autoimmune conditions that lead to overactivity of the thyroid gland.
3. Pituitary Gland Disorders
  • Pituitary Tumors: Diagnosing and treating benign or malignant tumors in the pituitary gland that may affect hormone production.
  • Acromegaly and Gigantism: Managing overproduction of growth hormone, leading to abnormal growth patterns.
  • Hypopituitarism: Treating conditions where the pituitary gland under-produces hormones, affecting growth, fertility, and metabolism.
4. Adrenal Gland Disorders
  • Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison’s Disease): Managing conditions where the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones like cortisol.
  • Cushing’s Syndrome: Treating conditions caused by excess cortisol production, often from tumors or prolonged steroid use.
  • Pheochromocytoma: Diagnosing and treating rare tumors of the adrenal gland that affect blood pressure and heart function.
5. Osteoporosis and Bone Health
  • Osteoporosis Diagnosis and Treatment: Using bone density scans to diagnose osteoporosis and prescribing medications to prevent bone loss and fractures.
  • Parathyroid Disorders: Managing hyperparathyroidism, which can lead to calcium imbalances and bone issues.
6. Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Treating hormonal imbalances in women that can cause irregular periods, infertility, and other metabolic issues.
  • Infertility Management: Addressing hormonal causes of infertility in both men and women.

11. Neuroendocrine Tumors
  • Diagnosis and Management: Detecting and managing rare tumors that arise from hormone-producing cells in the body, often in the pancreas or gastrointestinal tract.
12. Genetic Endocrine Disorders
  • Genetic Testing and Counseling: Providing genetic testing for hereditary endocrine conditions like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) and other familial endocrine disorders.
13. Hormone Replacement Therapies
  • For Hormone Deficiencies: Treating conditions where the body produces insufficient levels of hormones, like cortisol, thyroid hormones, or sex hormones.
14. Comprehensive Endocrine Testing
  • Lab and Imaging Services: Providing comprehensive blood tests to assess hormone levels and imaging techniques (ultrasound, MRI, CT scans) to evaluate glandular abnormalities.
