About Us

Why do people say they feel hormonal when they feel a little, well, off? That's because hormones affect our bodies in so many ways. They affect concentration, mood, sleep, digestion and more.

And where do these hormones come from? The endocrine system, of course. The endocrine system is made of hormone-making glands throughout the body. Endocrine disorders happen when one or more of these glands don't function as they should.

Endocrine disorders can cause mild or severe symptoms. They can also mimic other health problems, which often causes some patients to struggle for months or even years without a diagnosis.

Conditions We Treat

Our Luminis Health team includes all the providers you may need. On top of your endocrinologist, you may meet nurses, radiologists, technicians, geneticists, surgeons, cancer experts, diabetes experts and physical therapists.

We diagnose and treat disorders including:

The adrenal glands produce hormones that regulate digestion, how the body burns calories, stress responses, fertility and more.

Adrenal disorders can be genetic, but they aren't always inherited. They can be mild or severe, depending on the degree to which the disease affects hormone production.

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your disorder, unique symptoms and preferences.

Some endocrine disorders can cause abnormal levels of fat, cholesterol and other lipid levels in the blood. This can put you at risk of heart disease and other problems.

We offer advanced blood tests to diagnose lipid disorders in those with a family history. Then, we help you bring your lipid levels into a healthy range, with dietary counseling, medications and close monitoring.

Parathyroids glands are found in the neck, behind the thyroid gland. They are responsible for regulating calcium levels in our bodies. Parathyroid and calcium disorders result from the abnormal functioning of one or more of these glands.

We provide evaluation and testing to accurately diagnose parathyroid disorders. Our customized treatment plans may include medicine, hormone therapies or surgical removal of the affected glands.

The pituitary gland is a small gland in the brain that regulates all the other hormone-producing glands in the body. The most common cause of abnormal pituitary gland function is a non-cancerous tumor. These tumors are often hereditary.

At Luminis Health, we diagnose pituitary disorders with blood tests and imaging, including CT scans and MRI. Depending on the disorder, our team may treat these conditions with medications, hormone replacement, radiation or surgery.

This is a condition that doctors usually diagnose in women in their 20s or 30s. Women with PCOS have higher levels of male hormones. You may have fewer menstrual periods, excess body hair, balding concerns, weight gain and other symptoms. PCOS often disrupts ovulation and can cause infertility.

Depending on the severity, we treat PCOS with medicines and by supporting you in making lifestyle changes that reduce symptoms. We also discuss your desire to have a family and connect you to testing and treatments to support your wishes.

The thyroid hormone is powerful. It affects your energy levels, digestion, heart rate and more.

The thyroid gland can make too much thyroid hormone or too little, (In the medical world, we call these conditions hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism).

Many different underlying diseases can cause thyroid production to go out of whack, including Graves' disease and Hashimoto's disease.

We test your thyroid levels using precise and up-to-date methods. Then, we diagnose the reason for your low or high thyroid hormone levels. Our tailored treatment plan may include thyroid hormone supplementation and, in some cases, surgery.
