Endocrinology is the sub-specialty of medicine that focuses on the endocrine system, its disorders, and the hormones it produces. The endocrine system secretes hormones to control a variety of bodily functions such as metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, mood, sleep, sex drive, and reproduction. It is made up of several glands including the pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid, pineal, hypothalamus, adrenal, pituitary, ovaries and testes.

What is an Endocrinologist?
Endocrinologists diagnose and treat issues involving the over-function or under-function of these glands and the resulting hormone levels in your body. At BASS Medical Group, all of our endocrinologists are board-certified in endocrinology and have expert knowledge in treating a wide range of disorders.
Hormones created by the glands of the endocrine system are secreted directly into your blood and carried throughout the entire body. They then interact with different organs, controlling their function. Hormones are essential to almost every organ and system, so imbalances in their levels can cause widespread health issues. These imbalances are usually caused by a gland over-producing or under-producing a certain hormone, or by a tumor growing in or near the gland itself. If you or your primary care doctor suspect that a hormone imbalance is the cause of a health issue, an appointment with an endocrinologist may be appropriate.
Many endocrine disorders are chronic, and at BASS Medical Group our specialists understand the complex issues that long term diseases create, as well as the importance of high-quality patient care. They are here to treat, educate, and work with you to create a plan that is tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.
