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.

I have been on medication for over 30 years and DrBanerjee was the only doctor who has ever explained how I should take it. I also went to see him about my cholesterol and came out knowing everything about my HRT. I would highly recommend his service.

What is Endocrinology?

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

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 any relevant blood and urine tests
plan any imaging tests - ultrasound/ CT scans/ MRI scans
an explanation of your management plan.

When should I see an Endocrinologist?

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

You can be reviewed by an Endocrinologist for an accurate diagnosis and a detailed treatment plan for your hormone-related problems. If your primary healthcare physician (GP or Practice nurse) has identified an endocrine / metabolic disorder in you, a review by an Endocrinologist can help to manage the disorder and its associated conditions, as these conditions are often chronic (lifelong), complex, and can affect multiple organ systems.

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

What do endocrine investigations involve?

Endocrine tests are designed to assess the structure and function of the endocrine gland which is in question.

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.
have to collect your urine - either over a 24-hour period or the first morning sample
have to collect your saliva.
undergo Ultrasound/CT scan/MRI scan/Radio-isotope scan of the endocrine organ being investigated.
