About Prisma Health Pediatric Endocrinology–Greenville
Endocrinology is a specialized branch of medicine that deals specifically with the endocrine system, including the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, testicl*s, ovaries and parathyroid, glands and organs that produce hormones vital and essential to maintaining your health.
Most of the time, our bodies do a terrific job all on their own regulating hormones, but sometimes an imbalance may be caused by a medical condition or disease. In that case, your primary care provider will refer you to our office for further evaluation.
