I made my initial appointment with Dr Banerjee following the 5* reviews on iwantgreatcare.com. I wanted an experienced endocrinologist as I had suspected hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome). Dr Banerjee is very experienced, knowledgeable and personable. He takes the time to explain everything in great detail and has been very attentive. I have appreciated this more than ever during the Covid pandemic. I would 100% recommend him. Written by a patient from BMI The Beaumont Hospital

My GP was not monitoring my thyroid properly when I became pregnant. Dr Banerjee took over my care, arranged my blood tests and changed my medication, I now have a healthy baby boy, Dr Banerjee explained everything to me and followed me up after my son was born. Couldn’t have been in safer hands. Can’t thank him enough. Written by a patient from The Royal Bolton Hospital

Dr Banerjee was recommended to me from the service she receives through the NHS, so I researched the DR and found his private practice. Dr Banerjee is always welcoming and reassuring giving thorough explanations. Dr Banerjee's personal attributes include his soft communication and the talent to bring humour to make it a personal approach. I have quickly developed trust in his clinical expertise. I would recommend Dr Banerjee to others.

quick facts about endocrinology

What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is the specialist branch of medicine that deals with hormonal and associated metabolic disorders that influence the overall health and well-being of an individual.

When should I see an Endocrinologist?

Some endocrine or hormone related problems can be diagnosed and managed by primary healthcare professionals (General Practitioners). 

Your GP could refer you to an Endocrinologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if they have reason to believe that your body may be experiencing hormone-related problems.

A visit to an endocrinologist might be advantageous for you, as they are better familiar with your disease condition and up to speed on the many drugs, medical advancements, and clinical studies in this specialty.

If your primary healthcare physician (GP or Practice nurse) has identified an endocrine disorder in you, they could suggest that you visit an endocrinologist to help manage the disorder, particularly because these conditions are often chronic (lifelong), complex, and can affect multiple organ systems.

What to expect at an appointment with an Endocrinologist?

A visit to the endocrinologist usually involves:
  • a detailed medical history
  • a thorough clinical examination related to the endocrine dysfunction being suspected and any other associated system
  • plan for blood and urine tests
  • plan any imaging tests - ultrasound/ CT scans/ MRI scans
  • an explanation of your management plan.

What do endocrine tests involve?

Endocrine tests are designed to check the levels of certain hormones and related chemicals within our bodies.
Depending on which test you’re having, you may:
  • require a blood test at any time or at a particular time of the day. 
  • require a number of blood tests taken at regular intervals.  To make this easier, a cannula will be put in place first, and subsequent samples taken from there.
  • require an injection or a tablet or to drink a particular liquid to help facilitate the test.
  • have to ‘fast’ for a number of hours before the test. 
  • You will be told in detail what would be needed to undertake your test.
