Frequently Asked Questions
What is an endocrinologist and what do they do?
An endocrinologist is an internal medicine physician who completes two to three years of additional medical training specializing in the actions of hormones. Hormones are chemical signals made by the body, and endocrinologist specialize in diagnosing and treating medical problems that arise from either too much or too little hormone production by the body. By talking to and examining patients, endocrinologist can often tell if there is a “chemical” cause for a patient’s symptoms. The endocrinologist then performs blood tests to confirm this abnormality.
