thyroid disorders
We provide comprehensive care for a wide range of thyroid disorders, including:
Types of Thyroid Disorders
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism can lead to Graves’ disease, which has many symptoms, including sweating, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), weight loss, protruding eyes and nervousness.
Hypothyroidism
Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include tiredness, weight gain, depression, abnormal bone development and stunted growth. The most common cause is autoimmune: the production of antibodies that attack the thyroid gland.
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder, is an inflammation of the thyroid gland. It can cause a goiter (swelling in the neck due to an enlarged thyroid gland) and other symptoms.
Thyroid Tumors
Thyroid nodules and adenomas, small, noncancerous growths, start in the cell layer that lines the inner surface of the thyroid gland. The adenoma itself may secrete thyroid hormone and may cause hyperthyroidism. Thyroid adenoma treatment may include surgery to remove the overactive nodule.
Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer occurs more often in people who have undergone radiation to the head, neck or chest. However, it may also occur in those without any known risk factors. There are four main types of thyroid cancer: papillary thyroid cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, anaplastic thyroid cancer and medullary thyroid cancer. Most thyroid cancer can be treated successfully.
Thyroid Disorders in Women
Women’s thyroid disease can affect their hormone balance and cause problems in puberty, menstruation, fertility, pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy
Thyroid hormone comes in pill form and is often used to treat an underactive thyroid that is secreting little or no thyroid hormones. The most commonly prescribed thyroid hormone replacement is synthetic thyroxine (T4).
Thyroid Disorders in Pregnancy
Thyroid hormones pass from mother to fetus, and adequate amounts are important for normal growth and brain development. Hypothyroidism during pregnancy can be treated safely with thyroid hormone medications.
Postpartum Thyroiditis
Postpartum thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland that occurs after giving birth and can cause hyper- or hypothyroidism. It is treatable with medication, and in about 80% of cases resolves after 12 to 18 months.

Say Hello to mounjaro® (tirzepatide) injection
In chronic weight management for patients living with obesity or overweight'
Wegovy® (semaglutide injection) is indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients with an initial BMI of 30 kg/m or greater (obesity), or 27 kg/m or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, or obstructive sleep apnea. Wegovy® should not be used in combination with any other semaglutide-containing drug (e.g., Ozempic®, Rybelsus®) or any other GLP-1 receptor agonist.

In weight management, it's not one-size-fits-all
The individual response to obesity management pharmacotherapy is heterogeneous. The Canadian Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines advise healthcare professionals to consider MOA, safety, tolerability, contraindications, drug interactions, mode of administration and cost when choosing the most appropriate obesity pharmacotherapy?
Diabetic Treatment
Depending on your diabetes type, blood sugar monitoring and medication may be part of your treatment. A healthy diet and regular exercise are also important.
Monitoring your blood sugar
Depending on your treatment plan, you may check your blood sugar several times a day, especially if you’re on insulin. Regular testing helps maintain your levels within the target range. Those with type 2 diabetes not on insulin typically check less often.
Insulin therapy patients may also use continuous glucose monitors, which can reduce fingersticks and provide insights into blood sugar trends.
a new way for your patients with diabetes to manage their glucose with confidence.
