The Neuroendocrine Clinical Center
offers detailed outpatient evaluation of all disorders affecting
the endocrine function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland,
achieved through comprehensive office visits, complete basal
and dynamic hormone testing, and coordination of radiological
studies and visual field evaluations. Patients are presented
at the weekly Neuroendocrine Clinical Conference which is attended
by endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and radiation
therapy physicians. A diagnostic and therapeutic plan is formulated
for each patient and provided to the referring physician. |
