What is an Endocrinologist, and what health conditions can they help me with?
An endocrinologist is a doctor who has specialised in the treatment of disorders related to hormones.
Hormones are chemical messengers which coordinate many vital functions in the body including growth, general vitality, metabolism and reproduction. Endocrinologists are trained to diagnose and treat hormone imbalances and problems by helping to restore the normal balance of hormones in your system.
Why does an endocrinologist work with a multidisciplinary team?
The goal of a multidisciplinary approach is to maximise the benefits of your health care. Our allied health providers ensure education, support and specific interventions to help you and your family achieve optimal coping with any difficulties of the recovery process.
