Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions controlled by the endocrine system, which is made of glands and organs that release hormones working to regulate a number of vital functions of the body. These glands include the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pancreas, testes, and ovaries. Hormones released from these organs travel through the bloodstream to specific target tissues throughout the body, promoting the balance of normal bodily functions, such as blood sugar control, normal growth and development, regulation of metabolism and heart rate, blood pressure and digestion, sexual development, reproduction and mood. A deficiency or excess of any one hormone can impact the entire body. If normal homeostasis fails to correct an imbalance, interventions to replace or eliminate the abnormal endocrine gland or the hormone it produces, becomes necessary. Endocrinologists are specially-trained to bring the balance of these hormone back in line to bring health back to those who are suffering with diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, infertility, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and more.

Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
