Best Endocrinologist Doctors in the Philippines

Endocrinology is a branch of medical biology which primarily deals with the endocrine system including its diseases. It is a very broad field of medicine which has many sub-specialties  Among the diseases that are related to the endocrine system included the Addison’s disease, Diabetes, the Conn’s syndrome and Cushing’s syndrome, Thyroiditis, hyperparathyroidism, Osteoporosis, Pituitary adenomas, Cushing’s disease. Hypogonadism, Kallmann syndrome, Ovarian and Testicular failure, Gender identity disorder, Amenorrhea, Multiple endocrine neoplasia and Incidentaloma among many others.

Aside from specialization in these different diseases, sub specialties are also categorized according to patient (Pediatric endocrinology), organ (Neuroendocrinology), and function (Reproductive endocrinology) among others. In other words, looking for the best Endocrinologist doctors would not be the correct way to look for a specialist. Endocrinology is a very broad field to find a specialist for particular type of disease. Instead, finding the best endocrinology doctor would entail defining a particular specialization.

When it comes to endocrinology, the name of Dr. Augusto D. Litonjua is usually heard. . Dr. Litonjua is considered as the Father of Philippine Endocrinology, whose practices has contributed in the advancement of endocrinology in the country.

Most of the top hospitals in the Philippines such as St. Lukes, UST, UERM amd PGH among others have very good endocrinologist doctors. However, a great way to find one apart from getting recommendation from doctors is by contacting the Philippine Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (PSEM) which is the association of of physicians and scientists in endocrinology. Its office is located at Unit 1701, 17/F Medical Plaza Ortigas San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Center Pasig City. Contacting them would allow one to find the particular specialist you will need in endocrinology.

It would be prejudicial and erroneous to name the best endocrinologist doctors in the Philippines because this medical field is too broad. Thus, the best way to search is to visit the top hospitals in the Philippines or consult the Philippine Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism.
