Tulare County
Visalia is the Tulare County seat and the largest city between Fresno and Bakersfield, about forty-five minutes south of our clinic. Highway 99 and Highway 198 meet just west of town, and the drive to Northeast Fresno is a straight run up the 99. Spring Endocrinology is the endocrinology clinic that Visalia residents can actually get into. Our team, led by Colby Morton, FNP-C with fellowship-trained endocrinologist Dr. Leila Chaychi, treats diabetes, thyroid disease, weight and metabolism, men's and women's hormone problems, adrenal and pituitary disorders and osteoporosis.

Visalia has Kaweah Health and a full range of primary care, and it does have endocrinology of its own, but a new patient appointment there can take months, so many Visalia patients find the drive up Highway 99 to Fresno quicker than the wait at home. That is why so many Visalia patients make the drive. A first visit with us is a thorough one: we review your history, medications, labs and imaging, examine you and leave you with a plain-language explanation and a written plan rather than a referral to somewhere else.
About Endocrinologist
Most Visalia patients see us every three to six months once their condition is stable, and many established patients can do follow-ups as virtual visits so a routine check-in does not cost a whole afternoon.
New patients from Visalia should bring recent labs, a medication list and their insurance card. Completed new patient forms from our Payment & Forms page shorten check-in considerably.
Our patients from Visalia come from Downtown Visalia, Northwest Visalia, Goshen, Exeter and beyond. Visalia is about 45 to 50 minutes from the clinic, north on Highway 99 to CA-41 or Clovis Avenue.
