Philosophy of Care
My philosophy is to provide evidence-based and guideline-driven endocrinology care to my patients in a professional and respectful manner. I believe in the importance of patient-centered care, where my patients and I work together to develop a treatment plan that fits with their values, preferences, and lifestyles.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Teng is a board-certified endocrinologist offering care for adults with various endocrinology conditions, such as diabetes (type 1 and 2), parathyroid and calcium disorders, thyroid diseases, pituitary and adrenal disorders. She has special clinical and research interests in bone health, with a focus on osteoporosis care in both men and women.
