Endocrinology is a specialty service that sees patients with a range of hormonal diseases. For most of patients their problems occur because they either produce too much or have too little of a particular hormone, that can cause symptoms that are difficult to diagnose and that make patients feel unwell in peculiar ways.
Followed the principle of “Treat Patients as Family”, the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Taiwan Adventist Hospital has been insisting in providing state-of-the art and quality medical diagnosis and treatment to patients and their family for decades.
Our endocrine experts work together with other subspecialists as a multidisciplinary team to provide treatments and services to help patients manage their conditions and develop healthy, normal lifestyles.
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is by far one of the leading causes of death in the world, which is also a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. DM has been implicated in all-cause mortality, especially in deaths related to cardiovascular and cerebral vascular disease.
Our endocrinologists are committed to patient care, as well as advancing medicine through education and research. While other endocrinologists may treat a variety of endocrine disorders, each Taiwan Adventist Hospital endocrinologist has a specific focus to help patients and the general public to understand and aware of diabetes, also to reduce the incidence of diabetes complications, so as to improve the quality of life of patients and their family.
In addition, our endocrinologists also specialize in Thyroid, Obesity-Related Metabolic Syndrome and Endocrine Diseases, who provides thyroid (parathyroid) ultrasound, ultrasound-guided find needle aspiration, various endocrine hormone tests, and weight management consultation.
