Sierra Foothills & Eastern Sierra
Sonora is the Tuolumne County seat in the Gold Country foothills on Highway 49, about two hours and fifteen minutes north of our clinic. An adrenal nodule or pituitary finding on a scan done for another reason is one of the most common reasons Sonora patients are sent to Spring Endocrinology. Most are benign, but every one needs a hormone workup and a plan.

Sonora has a regional hospital, but endocrinology appointments in the Mother Lode are scarce, and some residents travel to Fresno for faster specialist access. 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.

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.
It is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but the symptoms are real. We test for true adrenal insufficiency and the other causes of persistent fatigue such as thyroid disease, sleep apnea, anemia or low testosterone.
