The approach
Understand first. Then treat.
Endocrinology deals with disorders of hormones, metabolism and the glands that regulate them. Specialist assessment is particularly important when disease is complex, results are difficult to interpret, treatment is not working as expected or pituitary, adrenal or unusual endocrine pathology is suspected.
At MLI, Dr Bhana provides specialist endocrinology while Dr Arnav Kapur manages many first-line preventative, weight, metabolic and hormonal presentations. Patients can be escalated internally when specialist input is needed.
