The endocrine system is comprised of glands that produce hormones that control different functions of the body, such as growth, development, metabolism, reproduction and fertility. It affects many parts of your body, including the adrenal glands, hypothalamus, ovaries, pancreas, parathyroid, pineal glands, pituitary glands and testes.

A metabolic disease is a disorder that affects the chemical reactions that take place in the body to convert or use energy. There are several different kinds of metabolic diseases, and they can be genetic and/or caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices. If you have a severe metabolic disorder or multiple metabolic disorders, you may be at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of endocrine and metabolic conditions, including:

• Addison's disease
• Cholesterol problems
• Cushing syndrome
• Diabetes mellitus
• Growth hormone deficiency
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Infertility
• Male hypogonadism
• Obesity
• Osteoporosis
• Pituitary disorders and tumors
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Thyroid disorders
  • Hyperparathyroidism
  • Hypothyroidism

• Disease of the diaphragm
• Esophageal cancer
• Hyperhidrosis
• Interstitial and occupational lung diseases
• Lung cancer
• Pneumonia
• Pulmonary hypertension
• Thymic disease
• Tracheal disease
• Tuberculosis and other complex lung and pleural infections

Breathing treatments we offer

To treat lung conditions and diseases, we use a variety of treatments, including noninvasive therapies, medication and surgery. Some of the pulmonary treatments we perform most commonly include:

• Bronchoscopy
• Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)
• Fiducial marker placement
• Mediastinoscopy

Sleep studies

Sleep studies are used to monitor movements, breathing, brain activity, oxygen levels and other behaviors during sleep. In a sleep study, you sleep while your brain and body activity are examined to determine if you have a sleep disorder.

A sleep study can help our pulmonologists determine if you have sleep apnea, wherein muscles in the back of the throat relax and cause the airways to narrow or close. This condition interrupts breathing during sleep. We offer a range of treatments to manage and treat this condition.
