Referrals
Patients are typically referred to our specialty clinic by their primary care physicians. However, we also welcome self-referred patients. Our endocrinology practice is focused on treating adult patients aged 18 and over; however please contact us regarding specific cases related to youth or adolescents, as exceptions may be made in unusual circumstances.
At Roper Endocrinology, we base medical decision-making on the most up-to-date clinical and research data, and pride ourselves on in-depth discussions with our patients and excellent continuing communication throughout the course of treatment.
Please note that at this time we do not prescribe bio-identical hormones or HCG-based weight loss treatments.
