- Primary CarePatients with HMO (managed care insurance coverage) plans must obtain a referral from their primary care physicians prior to the first visit. If you are not sure whether you need a referral, please check with your insurance company. If you do not have a referral at the time of your visit and your health plan requires you to obtain one, your insurance company will not cover your visit.

- Male InfertilityInfertility occurs in one out of ten couples today, and despite the wealth of research devoted to outside factors, the most common cause for this problem is a hormonal imbalance occurring within the complexities of the endocrine system. Infertility is not just a problem affecting women. Over 40% of infertility problems are in fact due to men’s health problems. Male infertility can be caused by testosterone, as well as other chemicals of the brain, being out of balance within the body. The most common cause of male infertility is related to sperm, either due to problems with its quantity or quality.

- EndocrinologyNorth Jersey Diabetes and Endocrinology is happy to announce that Dr.Merab Joseph participates in telemedicine services. Telemedicine is an interactive audio and video system that allows two-way communication between a health care professional and a patient. This means that in most instances, you can have your next visit with your provider from the comfort and safety of your own home. It is a simple way for patients to be treated by their physician by use of communications such as a videoconference or a phone call, without an in-person visit.
- HypothyroidismHypothyroidism can occur as a result of too few thyroid hormones being produced, which often results in a large drop in a patient’s energy levels. This drop is hormone production can be caused by a number of endocrine system problems, most commonly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack the thyroid tissue itself. In other cases, chemicals that you may have been exposed to can damage the thyroid, such as large amounts of iodide from cold medicine, the heart medication amiodarone, contrasts in x-rays, and even lithium. - Hyperthyroidism
- ThyroidThyroid disorders occur when the hormones produced by the thyroid gland are too great or too few in number. This can result in a small yet harmless enlarged gland that requires no treatment to life-threatening cancer. While thyroid problems can often be uncomfortable problems of endocrine hormonal issues, most can be easily managed with a swift diagnosis and proper treatment. - Hypothyroidism
- Thyroid CancerThyroid nodules are growths, which grow along the front of your neck within the thyroid. In most cases nodules are not cancerous and do not cause problems for a patient; however, if thyroid nodules grow too large they can cause a patient to have trouble swallowing and breathing. The exact cause of thyroid nodules is unknown, though they are more common in older patients and those who have been exposed to radiation. - Thyroid Cancer
- UltrasoundA thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound is an imaging test to check the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands. A thyroid ultrasound can help measure the size and shape of the thyroid gland, but it cannot tell how well the thyroid gland is working. Ultrasound also may be used to check the four parathyroid glands that lie behind or next to the thyroid.
