There are scores of different types of hormones in your body that act as catalysts for chemical changes to your cells, which are necessary for growth, development and energy. Sometimes these hormones get out of whack. That’s when the Eagle Endocrinology team steps in. Eagle Endocrinologists, Dr. Altheimer, Dr. Kerr and Dr. Kumar are trained to recognize problems with hormones and to provide treatment for a wide range of disorders of the endocrine system including metabolism, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, menopause, osteoporosis and cholesterol disorders. Two common illnesses that Endocrinologists diagnose and treat are diabetes and hypothyroidism.
All Eagle Endocrinologists are board-certified, and work closely with your primary care physician to understand your medical history and key factors that could help treat and manage the disorders you are experiencing.
Many people go through life without knowing they have a hormonal disorder. Eagle Endocrinology regularly aligns with Eagle's Family Medicine Physicians, Internists, Pediatricians and Geriatric Physicians to discuss symptoms and monitor the health of Eagle patients. This way, our patients can live their lives to their fullest potential.
