What Is an Endocrinologist?
Specialists in Hormones & Metabolism
Endocrinologists are doctors who specialize in treating disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and many others. They are specialists of internal medicine or pediatrics.
The body’s endocrine system includes the pancreas, the thyroid, parathyroid, pineal, hypothalamus, adrenal, and pituitary glands, and the ovaries and testes. It also involves many other organs that respond to, modify, or metabolize hormones.
Our endocrinologists are trained to evaluate and treat people for endocrine and metabolic disorders, and we also offer Pediatric Endocrinology with a convenient schedule to help your children without hurting your schedule or theirs.

A Serious Medical Condition
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Often asymptomatic, underdiagnosed, and untreated — and closely tied to diabetes. Patients who may have PAD should be tested.
8–12M
Americans affected by PAD
18%
of the Medicare population has PAD
66%
of PAD patients have NO symptoms
PAD is associated with a 6× higher risk for a cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke. Watch for the risk factors and symptoms below.
Risk Factors
- Smokers
- Age 50+
- Diabetics
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Obesity
- Chronic kidney disease
- Family history of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke
- History of COVID-19
Symptoms
- Muscle pain and cramping
- Often in the calf, buttocks, or thigh; leg pain while walking or exercising.
- Non-healing wounds
- Often on the legs and feet.
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Approximately half of diabetics have PAD.
- Discomfort in feet and legs
- Coldness, numbness, or a feeling of heaviness.
- Change in leg appearance
- Hair loss, slow hair growth, change in leg color, or excessively shiny skin.
We prevent more than 80% of amputations in patients who were told it was the only option.
If diagnosed early, PAD is treatable; if not, it can lead to amputation, even death. Minimally invasive, image-guided procedures improve patients’ comfort, safety, and outcomes.
