Sierra Foothills & Eastern Sierra
Mariposa is the historic Gold Rush county seat on Highway 140 toward Yosemite, about eighty minutes from our clinic. An adrenal nodule or pituitary finding on a scan done for another reason is one of the most common reasons Mariposa patients are sent to Spring Endocrinology. Most are benign, but every one needs a hormone workup and a plan.

Mariposa County has a small hospital and primary care clinic but no endocrinologist, so diabetes, thyroid and hormone patients choose between Merced, Modesto and Fresno. Testing is the hard part. Morning cortisol, ACTH, dexamethasone suppression, salivary cortisol, aldosterone and renin, prolactin, IGF-1 and stimulation tests each have rules about timing and medications, and getting them wrong leads to wrong answers. We get them right.
About Adrenal & Pituitary Care
Adrenal and pituitary care is lifelong. Mariposa patients get a regular lab and imaging schedule and a team that knows their history.
Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized diagnosis, but the symptoms people describe are real. We test for true adrenal insufficiency and for the other causes of persistent fatigue so you get an answer that leads somewhere.
Spring Endocrinology sees patients from Mariposa, Catheys Valley, Bootjack, Midpines and the rest of Mariposa. Mariposa is about 80 to 90 minutes from the clinic via Highway 49 to Highway 41 south, and virtual follow-up visits make ongoing care practical.

Usually not. Most prolactinomas respond to oral medication, and many other adenomas are simply monitored. When surgery is needed we coordinate with experienced pituitary neurosurgeons.
Often, yes. Many of the blood and urine tests can be drawn at a lab near home with our instructions, and we review the results with you in person or virtually.
Most are benign and many make no hormones, but every one needs a hormone workup and a look at the imaging. We do that evaluation and set up the right follow-up, which is often just periodic monitoring.
