Endocrinology Specialist Services
The endocrine system is a network of glands that regulate essential functions in the body through the release of hormones. These hormones influence everything from metabolism and mood to growth, reproduction, and energy levels. When the endocrine system doesn’t function properly, it can lead to a wide range of health issues.
At Spencer Private Hospitals, our Consultant Endocrinology Specialist is an expert at diagnosing and managing all types of endocrine disorders. Using state-of-the-art testing and imaging, we can detect even the most subtle hormonal imbalances and design effective treatment strategies.
We treat conditions such as:
Thyroid disorders (e.g. hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules)
Adrenal gland disorders (e.g. Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome)
Pituitary gland dysfunction
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Calcium and bone disorders (e.g. osteoporosis, parathyroid disease)
Endocrine cancers (e.g. thyroid, adrenal, pancreatic)
Menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Testosterone and male hormone disorders.
Our goal is to provide patients with clarity, comfort, and control over their hormonal health, supporting wellbeing at every stage of life.
