Our endocrinologists are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for hormonal and metabolic disorders

An endocrinologist helps people who have a problem with one of their endocrine glands.

These include the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, the parathyroid gland, the adrenal gland, the pancreas, the ovaries and the testes.

Endocrine glands secrete hormones that affect various body functions. For example, your pancreas secretes insulin in response to elevated blood glucose levels. Insulin grabs the glucose and stores it safely in tissues. If your pancreas fails to secrete sufficient insulin, your blood glucose levels become too high; a condition called diabetes.

As well as general endocrinology and diabetes, our endocrinologists’ special interests include pituitary and growth disorders, osteoporosis, nutrition, infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Managing diabetes

Diabetes is a growing health problem in Australia with about 1.2 million Australians being diagnosed with the condition. An estimated 500,000 people have silent, undiagnosed diabetes.

Left undiagnosed and untreated, diabetes can lead to many complications including heart disease or stroke.

Managing diabetes affects your whole life, however once your insulin levels are controlled, your diet and exercise managed and your medication stabilised, you can live a healthier life.
