Each endocrinologist in the ERH Associates group has their own sub-specialties. Some of us have expertise in children's hormone health (paediatric endocrinology), others in gender-affirming medicine, hormone issues in pregnancy, PMS/premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and men's hormone health (andrology).
Endocrine doctors (endocrinologists) are specialists in hormones and the glands that produce them. Endocrinologists can help with keeping healthy in relation to the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid glands, reproductive hormonal health, bone health and adrenal glands.
We are all qualified endocrinologists, with particular expertise in reproductive health. We can help with problems relating to absent or irregular periods, menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), variations in sexual characteristics (VSDs), and testosterone replacement.
Meet the team:
Our philosophy is that excellent doctors can have a vibrant life outside of clinical medicine. Each of us has a variety of passion projects and interests that are energizing, creatively inspiring, and bring richness of personal experience to our medical practice, and sometimes surprisingly transferrable skills!
