Endocrinology
The mission of the Landstuhl Endocrinology Clinic is to provide effective and efficient consultative care for endocrinology, metabolism, and diabetes to our patients throughout the EUCOM, AFRICOM and CENTCOM areas of operation. We provide a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to investigate and treat endocrine pathologies.
The Endocrinology Clinic also supports the Landstuhl inpatient and emergency room operations with on-call consultative services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
New Patient Information
Endocrinology is a consult service; patients are encouraged to speak with their primary care provider to obtain a referral. Please wait 72 hours (or 3 business day) for your referral to be reviewed by the Endocrinology Service prior to scheduling your appointment.
Endocrinology services are available to all adult Active-Duty Service Members and their families; military Retirees and DoD civilians are seen on a space available basis. The clinic provides care to adults starting at age 18; pediatric patients are not seen in consultation.
If you have received care outside of the Military Health System, please bring any doctor's notes, lab results, pathology reports and radiographic studies (X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds) to your appointment.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your apartment.
