Our Endocrinology department at Cottonwood Medical Clinic diagnoses and treats patients who have endocrine system disorders and diseases. The endocrine system involves the glands which produce hormones in the human body and regulate metabolism, growth and development, mood, sleep, sexual function, and tissue function. These glands include the pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid, ovaries, testes, adrenal, hypothalamus, and pituitary. Our doctors are trained to identify problems that may occur in these glands.

Conditions

The endocrine system can affect many different parts of the body. The endocrinologists in our clinic are trained to diagnose and treat conditions that start with the hormones and glands. Some of these include:
