What does an endocrinologist do?

An endocrinologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats hormone-related conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS, menopause, and weight gain. At Well Endocrinology, we offer highly personalized endocrine care based on lab results, lifestyle, and your individual health history.

Can you help me if my labs are normal but I still feel off?

Yes, we help many patients who feel unwell despite having “normal” labs. We look beyond basic ranges to uncover what’s really going on. Your symptoms matter, and we design treatment based on the full picture.

How is Well Endocrinology different from a typical clinic?

Well Endocrinology is a direct care practice. This means we offer longer appointments, deeper follow-up, and more personalized treatment without the limitations of insurance-based care. Our model centers on precision, prevention, and presence.

Why am I gaining weight even though nothing has changed?

Unexplained weight gain can be caused by hormonal shifts, thyroid dysfunction, or insulin resistance—not just lifestyle. We identify medical causes and support your metabolism with respectful, root-cause care.

Do you prescribe medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro?

Yes, we prescribe GLP-1 and dual-agonist medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro when they are clinically appropriate. These medications can support weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic improvement. At Well Endocrinology, they are used as part of a broader, personalized care plan not a standalone solution. We evaluate your labs, symptoms, and goals before recommending any medication, and we continue to monitor and adjust based on your individual response.

What is insulin resistance and how do I know if I have it?

Insulin resistance means your cells are not responding well to insulin, often leading to fatigue, cravings, or weight gain. We check for it with labs and treat it early to prevent long-term health issues.

What can I expect in my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a full consultation, a detailed lab review, and a clear care plan. We take time to understand your body, your history, and your goals.

Do you treat South Asian patients differently?

Yes, South Asian patients often have different risk factors for diabetes and heart disease. We provide culturally informed care that includes early screenings and targeted prevention.

What is included in your membership model?

Membership includes extended visits, direct access to your doctor, priority scheduling, frequent lab reviews, and real-time support between appointments.

Can I work with you if I’m not sick?

Yes, many of our patients are proactive. We offer optimization and longevity care for patients who want to stay well, improve energy, and prevent disease.
