The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones into the blood. These signaling molecules directly affect the function of virtually every organ system. They play a role in regulating body functions that range from metabolism to mood.

Endocrinologists treat conditions that affect the synthesis, storage, and function of hormones that are produced by glands distributed throughout the body, including the hypothalamus and pituitary in the brain, the thyroid, the adrenals, the pancreas, and ovaries and testes. Because every organ system in the body responds to hormones, highly trained endocrinologists must be able to evaluate and diagnose a large number of symptoms.

Patients who suffer from diabetes, hypo- or hyperthyroidism, or metabolic syndrome often benefit from the specialized care of an endocrinologist. They offer services that include diagnostic evaluation and appropriate follow-up.
