Expert Care for Endocrine Disorders
UConn Health’s team of board-certified endocrinologists diagnose, manage, and treat disorders of the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a collection of glands and organs that secrete hormones. The endocrine glands include the endocrine pancreas, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, parathyroid gland, and adrenal glands.
Our endocrinologists have experience with all disorders of the endocrine system, including diabetes, hypothyroidism, and osteoporosis. The endocrine glands can also develop benign and malignant tumors, and individuals with these conditions are seen by our endocrine neoplasia specialists.
