We offer various services, which include :
Thyroid Function Testing
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that regulate metabolism, body temperature, and Heart rate. Function testing is used to assess how well the endocrine is working. This can be important for people experiencing endocrine dysfunction symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain, or hair loss.

The most common test used to assess endocrine function is the TSH test. This measures the level of endocrine-stimulating hormone in the blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and helps to regulate the thyroid gland’s production of thyroxine (T4). High levels of TSH may indicate an underactive endocrine (hypothyroidism), while low levels may indicate an overactive endocrine (hyperthyroidism). Other tests that may be used to assess endocrine function include Free T4 levels and endocrine Antibodies tests. These tests can help to confirm a diagnosis of endocrine dysfunction and guide treatment decisions.

Thyroid Cancer Screening
Endocrine cancer is relatively rare, but it is essential to know the signs and symptoms. Endocrine cancer usually presents as a lump or mass in the neck. Other symptoms may include hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or persistent pain in the neck or throat. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please make an appointment with us so that we can assess your risk and provide the appropriate care.

Treatment of Thyroid Conditions
There are many different treatment options available for endocrine conditions. The type of treatment will depend on the specific condition being treated. Some common treatments include endocrine hormone replacement therapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. Our physician will work with you to create a treatment plan that is right for you.At Bay Area Endocrinology Associates, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to our patients. We accept most major insurance plans and offer convenient financing options to make sure that you can get the care you need.

We also offer treatment for endocrine conditions such as:

Hypothyroidism
This condition occurs when the endocrine gland doesn’t produce enough hormones. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and constipation. Treatment typically involves taking synthetic endocrine hormone pills to replace the missing hormones.

Hyperthyroidism
This condition occurs when the endocrine gland produces too many hormones. Symptoms may include anxiety, weight loss, palpitations, and sweating. Treatment typically involves medical practice such as taking medication to block the production of endocrine hormones or surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid gland.

We know that dealing with an endocrine condition can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

His diagnosis and treatments are thorough with up to date technology and years of experience. His concern and compassion are genuine with your best interest at heart. After having multiple biopsies preformed by Dr. Troya I am definitely a loyal follower.

I was a Private Pilot for 34 years before contracting Type 1 diabetes after a severe case of food poisoning in March of 2008. My first Endocrinologist refused to assist me in working with the FAA to retain my Pilots license. I became a patient of Dr. Troya in 2010. Since that time he has put me on a Continuous Glucose Monitoring regime and helped me to stabilize my blood glucose levels to levels that will allow me to pass my FAA medical exam. His caring and interest in each patients personal issues as well as their medical outcome marks him as an outstanding physician.
