Endocrinology

SSM Health endocrinologists diagnose and treat conditions related to the endocrine system, which includes your glands and hormones. Your endocrine system influences nearly every system in your body by controlling metabolism, growth and development, and reproductive health. Endocrinologists work with a broad array of diseases, including diabetes, thyroid diseases, metabolic disorders, menopause, osteoporosis, hypertension, cholesterol disorders and infertility.

An important part of what endocrinologists do is to educate their patients about their endocrine diseases and treatment options, so the best, individualized approach can be determined for their endocrine care. Our endocrinologists work collaboratively with our patients to understand their specific health concerns, so we can effectively diagnosis and treat them. SSM Health endocrinologists also work closely with your primary care provider to carefully monitor your ongoing care.
