A comprehensive physical examination of each patient provides the basis for his or her medical care at Palm Beach Diabetes & Endocrine Specialists, PA.  Although PBDES specializes in diabetes and other endocrine-related disorders, in order to develop an appropriate individualized treatment plan, the physicians focus on knowing as much as possible about the patient's body and mind. The PBDES treatment team includes physicians who are board-certified in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism. Our Diabetes Education Program is accredited by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and is staffed with an in-house staff of Nurse Educators, Registered Dieticians and Certified Diabetes Educators.

Patient Education and Involvement is the Key.  Research shows that good control of blood sugar, blood pressure levels, and lipids can help delay or even prevent the complications associated with diabetes.

Palm Beach Diabetes & Endocrine Specialists, PA ("PBDES") is pioneering the fight against diabetes and other endocrine-related disorders through patient education, goal setting, and individ-ual involvement in a personalized treatment program.

Maintaining the fragile equilibrium of hormonal levels within the human body is similar to balancing a seesaw.  How can stability be achieved?

PBDES physicians are all board-certified in endocrinology and metabolism, and have extensive clinical practice, research, and teaching experience. Research has confirmed that patients who receive Diabetic Education achieve better diabetic control, feel better, and have less chance of developing complications from diabetes.
