Endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism
Supporting hormonal health with total endocrine system care
Your endocrine system controls many functions in your body through hormones. With more than 50 different hormones, it affects nearly every aspect of your health. When there’s too much or too little of a hormone, problems like diabetes, thyroid disease, or obesity can develop. At Penn Medicine, our endocrinology team is among the leading providers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We diagnose and treat a wide range of endocrine conditions with care tailored to your needs.
A collaborative approach to endocrine disorders
At Penn Medicine, you’ll find experts who focus only on endocrine disorders. That means you get care from providers with deep experience in treating your condition.
We also offer:
- Team-based care: Our endocrinologists work closely with surgeons, radiologists, and other specialists so your care is connected and comprehensive.
- Expert surgeons: Because our surgeons perform a high number of endocrine surgeries each year, outcomes are among the best in the nation. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.
- Advanced diagnostics: We use imaging tools that aren’t widely available, including high-resolution MRIs that detect very small tumors and in-office ultrasounds with same-day results.
- Access to clinical trials: You may qualify for new treatments not yet widely available, giving you more options while helping advance research.
- Support and education: We offer diabetes training, nutrition guidance, and digital tools like apps and fitness trackers to help you manage your health every day.
