• Osteoporosis
• Medical Weight Loss
  The endocrine system controls some aspects of metabolism and hormone production and therefore can play a role in a patient’s weight by influencing appetite, fat accumulation, blood sugar, and energy levels. However, in most patients who suffer from obesity no clear hormonal issues exist and the treatment must focus on diet, exercise, behavior modification, medications, and at times, weight loss surgery.

• Kidney Stones
• Cancer Care
  Caring, compassionate, and most importantly - thorough. I am so glad that I transferred my thyroid cancer care to her. I saw another physician for 8 yrs and he was adequate, but I wanted a doctor who acknowledges that this hormone therapy does need to be balanced with life changes and medication side effects. Additionally, she has left no stone unturned in my cancer care. She is truly dedicated and seeing her is worth the office and scheduling wait times. ~ Sophie - Dallas

• Endocrinology
  Endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing endocrine, diabetes and metabolic disorders. The clinical endocrinologist with Endocrinology Associates of Dallas and Plano (EAD) are capable of treating endocrine disorders in both adults, and children. The endocrine system is comprised of a complex network of glands that produce and then release the hormones which regulate many vital bodily functions. Metabolism is the body’s biochemical process which consists of the breaking down of substances, such as food, in order to build up body tissues, such as bone, muscle, and fat. The endocrine system is involved in your body’s ability to convert calories into the energy that ultimately powers your organs and cells.
• Hypothyroidism
  Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce a sufficient amount of thyroid hormones. When hormone levels fall too low, normal chemical reactions within the body and important bodily functions are disrupted. Hypothyroidism is often asymptomatic and symptoms can progress over time.
• Thyroid
  Thyroid disease can affect anyone, but women are 5 times more likely to be affected than men. Approximately 1 in 8 women will experience some type of thyroid problem or disorder during her lifetime.
• Thyroid Cancer
  The rate of thyroid cancer seems to be increasing but this increase may actually be due to the advanced imaging technologies used to evaluate other conditions. Thus, these nodules are incidental findings and have resulted in an increased rate of detection of small thyroid cancers not previously detected.

  Thyroid ultrasound: An imaging test that utilizes sound waves to evaluate a goiter and identify the presence, size and characteristics of thyroid nodules
• MRI
  Thyroid nodule or mass are growths, either solid or fluid-filled, that form within the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodules often go unnoticed. These asymptomatic nodules will often be found during a routine exam or imaging studies for another symptom (CT or MRI of the neck or chest). In some cases, thyroid nodules become enlarged and may cause symptoms such as...
