endocrinologists
Gland system specialists
Endocrinologists are physicians who specialize in the endocrine system—the network of glands that produce hormones regulating metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood.
They diagnose and treat conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances: My endocrinologist adjusted my insulin dosage.
The field is endocrinology.
