Philosophy of CareEndocrinology is one of the most satisfying clinical fields. It is possible to diagnose endocrine problems accurately, by special testing, and treat them effectively. I take care of patients with lipid disorders and general endocrine diseases. Many of my patients with lipid problems have multiple metabolic disorders such as obesity or insulin resistance. I use a unified approach to care, making sure that treating one problem will not worsen another. Education and motivation are most important for good health. The physician's job is to educate and motivate the patient to take care of himself or herself. Having the resources of the UC Davis system is also beneficial, since we are able to bring specialized services to a large number of individuals. |
