Specialist types
The Endocrinology, Diabetes and Nutrition Center providers work with patients one-on-one to help manage and prevent disease through personalized care.
Our treatment requires input from multiple specialists to develop and apply the best treatment plan for each patient.
A physician assistant (PA-C) is a licensed and certified health care professional who practices medicine in partnership with a doctor. A PA-C offers high quality care by listening to your concerns, treating your condition and helping you make important health care decisions.
A certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES) is a health care professional who possesses comprehensive knowledge and experience in diabetes management, pre-diabetes and diabetes prevention. CDCESs educate and support people affected by diabetes to understand and manage the condition. CDCESs also promote self-management to achieve individualized behavioral and treatment goals that optimize health outcomes. Many diabetes care and education specialists are also certified in training patients on insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors and have extensive knowledge of how each of these diabetes management devices work. Our specialists can help you determine which device is right for you.
