Advanced diagnostic testing for endocrine disorders
Doctors at Ascension Saint Thomas provide diagnostic testing to diagnose endocrine disorders. Your doctor may recommend a series of tests, such as biopsy or lab work.
Surgical care for endocrine disorders
Sometimes, surgery is recommended to treat endocrine disorders. At Ascension Saint Thomas, we provide advanced surgical care using robotic-assisted and ultrasound-guided procedures. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive surgery. With this type of surgery, surgeons use small incisions which may lead to less pain and a shorter recovery.
