Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Daniel Ullah provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Adrenogenital Disorders: Adrenogenital disorders are rare conditions where the adrenal glands don't produce the right balance of hormones, sometimes leading to early puberty or other health challenges, but with proper medical care, seniors can live full and healthy lives.
- Thyroid Carcinoma: Thyroid carcinoma, a cancer of the thyroid gland, can often be successfully treated, allowing seniors to maintain their active lifestyles and focus on enjoying their golden years.
- Acromegaly and Gigantism: These conditions, characterized by excessive growth due to high growth hormone levels, may affect daily life, but effective treatments like medication or surgery can help control symptoms and enhance your quality of life.
- Cushing's Disease: Cushing's disease is a rare disorder where your body makes too much of the hormone cortisol, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and other health problems, but with proper medical management, you can feel better and maintain your independence.
- Rickets: While primarily a childhood condition, severe vitamin D deficiency in seniors can sometimes lead to a condition similar to rickets, manifesting as weak bones; appropriate supplementation with vitamin D and calcium can greatly reduce fracture risk and maintain mobility.
- Drug Induced Hypopituitarism: If certain medicines affect your pituitary gland, it might not make enough important hormones. Fortunately, hormone replacement can usually address this, leading to better energy and quality of life.
- Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, Type 3 (MEN 3): With MEN3, tumors can form in several endocrine glands, and early diagnosis through genetic testing and regular screenings is crucial for managing symptoms and preserving independence.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
To provide comprehensive and person-centered care, Daniel Ullah offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:
- Dexamethasone Suppression Test: To manage potential hormonal imbalances and ensure your overall well-being, your doctor might use the dexamethasone suppression test to uncover underlying causes of symptoms.
- Thyroid Hormone Replacement: For seniors diagnosed with hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone replacement is a vital treatment to address the condition's symptoms and prevent long-term health complications.
- Diet Counseling: A dietitian's guidance on nutrition can help seniors improve bone density and reduce osteoporosis risk factors.
- Diabetes Management: Diabetes management helps seniors maintain stable blood sugar levels, preventing serious complications and improving their overall quality of life.
- Fine Needle Aspiration of Thyroid Nodules: To provide comprehensive thyroid care, a fine needle aspiration helps to differentiate between harmless and harmful thyroid nodules, allowing for appropriate and timely interventions.
- Nutritional Counseling: Nutritional counseling helps seniors with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels through tailored dietary plans.
- Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration: This safe and accurate procedure helps your doctor assess and manage thyroid issues by using ultrasound to guide the collection of a tiny tissue sample, helping you receive the right treatment sooner.

Here are answers to some common questions about Endocrine care with Daniel Ullah:
- What is an Endocrinologist?
- Dr. Ullah is an endocrinologist, a medical doctor specializing in the endocrine system, which includes glands and hormones. He is experienced in managing chronic conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, and osteoporosis in seniors, helping maintain overall health and prevent complications.
- My primary care doctor manages my diabetes. Why would I need to see an endocrinologist?
- Your primary care doctor is excellent at managing diabetes. However, an endocrinologist can provide specialized care, especially if blood sugar control is challenging, complications develop, or advanced treatments are needed. We work in partnership to ensure the best possible diabetes management for you.
- What is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)?
- A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a small, wearable device that tracks your glucose levels 24/7, providing a much more complete picture of blood sugar trends compared to traditional fingersticks. This advanced tool helps Dr. Ullah and you make more informed decisions about food, exercise, and medication to improve diabetes control.
- My doctor found a lump or 'nodule' on my thyroid. Is it cancer?
- Thyroid nodules are very common, and over 95% are benign. Dr. Ullah will likely perform an ultrasound to evaluate the nodule, and if necessary, a simple fine-needle aspiration biopsy can be done to confirm the diagnosis.
- What is osteoporosis and how is it diagnosed?
- Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, making them more likely to break. It's often called a "silent disease" because there are no symptoms until a fracture occurs. It is diagnosed with a safe and painless bone density scan (DEXA scan), which Dr. Ullah can order and interpret.
- What are the common symptoms of a thyroid problem?
- Common thyroid problems, both underactive (hypothyroidism) and overactive (hyperthyroidism), can cause a range of symptoms. Hypothyroidism may present with fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and feeling cold, while hyperthyroidism may cause weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and feeling hot. These symptoms can be subtle in seniors, so a simple blood test can accurately check thyroid function.
- What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
- In Type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes, more common in seniors, is when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use it effectively. Dr. Ullah is an expert in creating personalized management plans for both types.
- How are high cholesterol and triglycerides managed?
- Managing high cholesterol and triglycerides is vital for preventing heart attacks and strokes. Lifestyle changes, like a heart-healthy diet and exercise, are often the first steps. If these aren't enough, Dr. Ullah can prescribe medications, such as statins, to lower cholesterol to a safe level.
