Diabetes and Endocrine Specialists was founded on a single conviction: that patients with complex hormonal conditions deserve more than a referral and a pamphlet. They deserve a team that knows their field at the deepest level, stays at the front of an evolving discipline, and treats the whole person — not just the lab result.
Our physicians have trained at leading academic centers, conducted clinical research published in peer-reviewed journals, and presented at national and international conferences. That expertise is brought to bear on every patient, at every visit, at each of our three San Diego locations. We will do whatever it takes you improve your health!
Our Approach
Our physicians have trained at top academic centers, run clinical trials, published in peer-reviewed journals, and taught other endocrinologists. That depth of expertise informs every diagnostic and treatment decision we make.
From continuous glucose monitors and hybrid closed-loop insulin systems to thyroid radiofrequency ablation, we adopt technologies with proven benefit early. Our patients benefit from advances that many practices have not yet integrated.
Endocrine conditions are personal. The same diagnosis presents differently in every patient, and treatment that works for one may not work for another. We take the time to understand your history, your goals, and your life.
Focused, specialized programs — each led with academic depth and advanced technology.
ADVANCED PROCEDURES
We are among the first practices in San Diego to offer ultrasound-guided thyroid nodule ablation (RFA & ethanol), liver elastography, and Eversense CGM insertion — advanced, in-office alternatives to surgery and long-term medication. Our thyroid RFA program was selected for presentation at ENDO 2026.
Our physicians trained at leading academic centers, conduct clinical research, and have presented at national and international meetings — bringing that academic depth to every patient visit.
Research happens here. Our physicians actively conduct clinical trials through our affiliated research center, EndoTrials, giving eligible patients access to emerging therapies — often years before they reach general use. We have published in leading medical journals and presented at national and international endocrinology meetings. Explore our clinical research →
