Medical Conditions Treated
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a common hormone condition causing a variety of unpleasant symptoms: irregular menstrual periods, unwanted hair growth, acne, weight gain, and more. “Period problems” are often an early indicator of possible PCOS. We focus on a comprehensive approach with weight management, nutrition counseling, menstrual period regulation, acne treatment and medication treatment for hair growth with changes in treatment as needed to benefit each patient individually.
Weight Management/Obesity Medicine
Increased weight either due to lifestyle, environment or genetics is becoming more common. We focus and specialize in addressing the lifestyle factors that contribute to obesity and also can help with medication management when needed to help prevent and treat diabetes and other health related concerns. We focus on a holistic, family centered approach and follow current AAP guidelines for treatment.
Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid disease occurs when the thyroid gland is unable to produce the correct amount of hormone. This often affects a person’s energy level, metabolism, mood, heart rate, and other functions. We focus on weight management, regulation of thyroid hormones and education regarding how to best manage this condition in a comprehensive manner.
Type 2 Diabetes & Pre-Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes, usually preceded by pre-diabetes, is becoming increasingly common, even in teenagers and children. Fortunately, with proper treatment, type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can be reversed. We focus on nutrition counseling, medication management and a family centered approach.
