Endocrinology
Our team of Endocrinology experts at Optum specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of disorders that are caused by abnormal levels of hormones that are secreted by glands such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes, and pancreas. Abnormal levels of hormones may impact growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, and mood. Common endocrine disorders include diabetes mellitus, acromegaly, Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, Graves’ disease, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. These disorders often have widespread symptoms, affect multiple parts of the body, and can range in severity from mild to very severe. Treatments depend on the specific disorder, but often focus on adjusting hormone balance using synthetic hormones.
Our Endocrinology specialists provide comprehensive outpatient and inpatient services in the area of endocrine and metabolic disease. For patients with diabetes, we work closely with our Optum Diabetes Management Specialist to provide our patients with the information they need to properly manage their diabetes.
Some of our services include:
- Diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disease
- Diabetes management for type 1 and 2 patients
- Diabetes and pregnancy
