Endocrinology

Whether you're looking for a diabetes doctor or a specialist who treats thyroid disease, you want the help of an expert who understands endocrinology and how your condition affects your life. At Astria Health, that's just what you'll find.

An endocrinologist treats diseases related to the glands and hormones. That's why they're sometimes known as "hormone doctors." To help you overcome a hormone imbalance, these specialists may recommend treatments such as lifestyle changes, medicines or surgery.

Properly diagnosing and treating a hormone disorder takes training and experience. Our endocrinology experts have both. They are here to help whether you have a common chronic disease or one most people have never heard of.

Here are some of the conditions we treat:

• Adrenal gland disorders
• Diabetes. Our team can treat type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. We also offer diabetes education classes for patients. The Astria Sunnyside Hospital Diabetes Self-Management Program can help you take control and live your best. Classes are available in English and Spanish.
• Low testosterone
• Osteoporosis
• Parathyroid disorders
• Pituitary gland disorders
• Thyroid disorders, including an overactive or underactive thyroid gland

Whatever condition you have, our team will take the time to understand your needs and prescribe the treatment or treatments that will work best for you.
