Expert care for adrenal gland disorders

Conditions we evaluate and treat

• Adrenal nodules (incidentalomas) — growths found incidentally on CT or MRI scans; we determine whether they produce excess hormone or need monitoring
• Primary aldosteronism — a curable, underdiagnosed cause of high blood pressure and low potassium
• Cushing's syndrome — excess cortisol causing weight gain, easy bruising, muscle weakness, and diabetes
• Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) — inadequate cortisol production requiring careful hormone replacement
• Pheochromocytoma — a rare adrenaline-producing tumor causing episodic blood pressure spikes

Found a nodule on a scan?

Adrenal nodules appear on up to 5% of abdominal CT scans, and most are harmless — but every one deserves a proper hormonal workup and imaging review. We follow current Endocrine Society guidelines to determine which nodules need treatment, which need surveillance, and which can be safely left alone.

Difficult-to-control blood pressure?

If your blood pressure requires three or more medications, or you've had unexplained low potassium, screening for primary aldosteronism is recommended — and if found, it is often curable with targeted medication or surgery. This is one of the most commonly missed diagnoses in medicine, and one of the most rewarding to find.
