ACMC welcomes Cleveland Clinic Endocrinologist Ula Abed Alwahab, MD. Dr. Abed specializes in diabetes and other diseases affecting the endocrine system and the body’s metabolism, and has a special interest in female and male infertility. She is now scheduling appointments and will see patients on the first floor of the hospital.
An endocrinologist diagnoses and treats patients who experience symptoms from diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiters, Grave’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, hypoglycemia, Addison’s Disease, disorders of the pituitary gland, infertility, thyroid cancer, and hyperaldosteronism.
The body’s endocrine system secretes hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones regulate the activity of cells and organs, and help the body convert calories into energy. When the body experiences a hormonal imbalance it can lead to a variety of health problems.
Dr. Abed completed her endocrinology fellowship at Cleveland Clinic, and residency at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. She is board certified in internal medicine.
“Dr. Abed’s experience at Cleveland Clinic has prepared her for the health concerns facing patients in northeast Ohio. Her addition to ACMC’s medical staff means that more patients will be able to remain close to home for diagnosis and treatment,” said ACMC President and CEO Michael Habowski.
