The University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism empowers patients to make the lifestyle changes that prevent obesity, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and stroke. Physicians within the division have developed programs that make weight loss and diabetes prevention achievable. They also stress the importance of treating high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure to lessen the risk for heart disease and stroke.  Additionally, these specialists diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions affecting the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and bones (including osteoporosis, calcium abnormalities and vitamin D deficiency).
Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are based on the most recent data from scientific studies. All faculty have completed subspecialty training in endocrinology and are American Board of Internal Medicine certified in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism.
