Endocrinologists are board certified in Internal Medicine, with additional specialization in endocrinology. Both medical doctors (MD) and doctors of osteopathy (DO) may specialize in endocrinology. Dean's endocrinologists work closely with primary care physicians to diagnose, treat, and carefully monitor patients with endocrine disorders.
