Accurate diagnoses and personalized, effective treatments
Accurate diagnosis leading to personalized treatment is the hallmark of the UC Davis Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. Experience has taught us that two patients with similar symptoms may have entirely different endocrine conditions. Our medical staff includes endocrinologists who specialize in specific conditions, including diabetes, female and male hormone imbalances, osteoporosis and other bone disorders, thyroid cancer, adrenal hormone excesses and deficiencies, high blood pressure caused by endocrine hormones, and other conditions affecting all the endocrine glands or metabolism.
Personalized Care
We have 10 consultants board-certified both in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology and Metabolism. We have clinics all over Northern California and even offer telehealth services, meaning we can bring personalized care to you, wherever you are.
Expertise In All Aspects of Endocrinology
Our mission is to provide our patients the most advanced science and technology, in a caring and respectful manner, working as a team with our partners in other disciplines. We are led by our Division Chief, Jose Joaquin Lado Abeal. Lado specializes in thyroid diseases, diabetes and neuroendocrinology. He previously served as a tenured professor at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and director of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at Prisma Health-Midlands.
Gender Affirming Care Clinic
The Gender Affirming Care Clinic provides care for adult transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals in a welcoming environment, where clinicians use an informed consent approach to starting and managing gender-affirming hormone therapy. The clinic can also assist with navigation and referrals for specialty care, gender-affirming surgeries and provide some sexual and reproductive health services.
