Why should I see an Endocrinologist?
An endocrinologist is a specialist physician who has undertaken additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine conditions. In Australia, this will mean they have spent a minimum of 7 additional years of medical training after completing medical school. As a result, they are likely to have a greater level of knowledge on your endocrine condition, and be more up to date with different medications and clinical trials that can help treat your endocrine condition.
Our Endocrinologists at Forum Specialists work closely with your GP to help manage endocrine conditions. If you’re currently seeing your GP for your endocrine condition and want any additional information on managing your condition, speak to your GP for a referral to an endocrinologist. Contact our team today to schedule a consultation with an endocrinologist in Sydney who can address your specific needs with expertise and compassion.
