Endocrinology
UT Medical Group, Inc.'s Division of Endocrinology in the Department of Medicine is comprised of physicians on the faculty of the University Of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis who offer both clinical and consultation services and are certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine Subspecialty Board on Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism.
The endocrine system regulates moods, development, metabolism, and sexual function. When the endocrine system doesn't function properly, a variety of disorders can arise which include: Adrenal insufficiency, Cushing's syndrome, Diabetes insipidus, Diabetes mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2), Gigantism, Growth hormone deficiency, Hypoglycemia, Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, and Precocious puberty. Doctors can treat these conditions by administering replacement hormones or hormone production-blocking drugs. Depending on the condition, surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy may also be used for treatment.
Whether you are in need of specialized diagnosis and care of a medical condition, or you simply need an annual physical exam, UT Medical Group has doctors to meet your needs. Patient care is our first concern.
Often, illnesses affect many areas of the body and may require evaluation and treatment by several types of doctors. Our doctors can easily call on their colleagues in other specialties for consultation. Locations throughout the Memphis area make quality health care convenient to you and your family.
