Saratoga Hospital Medical Group – Endocrinology & Diabetes provides advanced diagnostic and medical treatment for diabetes, thyroid diseases, osteoporosis, and other conditions that can affect the endocrine system. Whether you’re seeking an expert diagnosis or help to manage a chronic condition, you benefit from a highly skilled team of board-certified physicians who provide compassionate, patient-centered care.

Endocrinology focuses on the endocrine system: the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, ovaries, testes, adrenal, pituitary, and hypothalamus. These glands produce hormones that help control reproduction, metabolism, and growth and development. Our endocrinology practice—the largest north of Albany—diagnoses and treats most endocrine-related disorders.

We offer surgical services at two locations. Inpatient and outpatient surgery are performed at the Hospital. Outpatient surgery also is available at Saratoga Surgery Center, on our Wilton Campus.

Whenever possible, we offer a minimally invasive approach, which means less discomfort and scarring as well as faster recovery times.

We do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and well cared for.
