At Houston Endocrinology Center, we strive to offer excellent medical care while ensuring that our patients understand the basis of their illness and all complexities of the treatment plan. Patient satisfaction is our number one goal. We will review individualized goals and progress upon follow-up visits, providing continuous motivation and accountability for a healthier lifestyle.

Clinical Studies-Our Endocrinology Center participates in many research studies to increase medical knowledge and improve targeted therapies for Endocrine disorders. We work closely with Juno Research LLC performing clinical trials to patients. This improves care by allowing our patients to make individual treatment decisions that are not available to the public - especially when standard treatments have become less effective. Please note that the decision to participate in a clinical trial is complex and may depend on several factors. Speak with your doctor before enrolling to learn more about the types of studies being done and about their risks and benefits. As a patient, you always can contact Juno Research LLC to review what studies are available.
Labs and Testing-We offer onsite laboratory for our patients. We currently affiliate with Quest Diagnostics.
