Philosophy of Care
I see patients as persons with specific problems, not as diseases.
I listen carefully to the person's concerns, and I am committed to finding the best treatment options.
I spend time educating patients as the best way for mutual understanding.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Lado is an endocrinologist offering care for adults with various endocrine (hormonal) conditions such as diabetes mellitus, low testosterone, thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands clinical problems.

Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Lado's research focuses on the mechanisms involved in the hormonal changes during severe illness and on the role of hormonal replacement in sick persons.
