WHAT CAN AN
ENDOCRINOLOGIST HELP WITH?

Endocrinology is the care of all the hormones and chemicals in your body that allow every other organ able to do their job. When the hormones aren’t at adequate levels, it wreaks havoc on your internal homestasis. Through treatment, an endocrinologist restores the healthy balance of hormones. This treatment will target whichever gland, and hormones are causing an imbalance. Whether your body is not producing enough hormones, too many hormones, has developed tumors, or something else, our specialists are well-equipped to handle your treatment plan.
You may want to come see us if you are going through menopause, have diabetes, metabolic disorders, lack of growth, osteoporosis, thyroid diseases, reproductive diseases, hypertension, or infertility.
At your first visit you will get a thorough checkup of your entire body, including hormone levels. Following diagnosis, our endocrinology providers will suggest a treatment plan depending on which underlying condition is causing your symptoms.
Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck, just above the collarbone. As part of the endocrine system, the thyroid plays a crucial role in regulating your metabolism, which affects heart function, muscle control, digestion, brain development, and bone maintenance. When the thyroid doesn’t produce the correct amount of hormone, it can disrupt many of the body’s systems and lead to thyroid disease.

Thyroid Nodules

If you have a benign thyroid nodule causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or cosmetic concerns, surgery isn’t your only option. At Utah Endocrinology Associates, we offer four advanced, minimally invasive procedures to safely shrink or eliminate problematic nodules—often without the need for general anesthesia or a visible scar.
Parathyroid Disorders

Parathyroid Disorders

The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located behind the thyroid in your neck. They have a very distinct and separate function from the thyroid. They help regulate your calcium levels. When these glands don’t work properly, it can throw your calcium levels out of balance, leading to parathyroid and bone disorders.
