Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Danielle Neuman 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:
- Endocrine Gland Cancer: Hormone-producing glands can sometimes develop cancer, but with appropriate medical care including surgery, radiation, or medication, it's often possible to effectively manage the disease and maintain a fulfilling life.
- Autoimmune Thyroiditis: In autoimmune thyroiditis, your immune system malfunctions and damages your thyroid, leading to either an underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid; thankfully, hormone replacement or other medications can help restore balance and improve your health.
- Mineral Metabolism Disorders: Mineral metabolism disorders signify an imbalance in vital minerals, sometimes causing bone fragility or fatigue. Fortunately, through careful medical attention, including lifestyle modifications and supplements, these disorders can be managed effectively to preserve your mobility and comfort.
- Goiter: A goiter, or enlarged thyroid gland, can sometimes cause noticeable changes in your neck, but with the right medical care, including regular monitoring and treatment, you can live comfortably and maintain your independence.
- Obesity: Obesity means carrying more weight than is considered healthy for your height and build, and it can impact mobility and energy levels, but working with your doctor to lose weight can help maintain your independence.
- Osteoporosis: As we age, bones can lose density, leading to osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones brittle. However, regular checkups, medication, and weight-bearing exercise can help strengthen your bones and prevent falls.
- Hypercalcemia: Having too much calcium in your bloodstream, known as hypercalcemia, can cause symptoms like fatigue and weakness, but working closely with your doctor will ensure tailored treatment to alleviate these effects and support your daily life.
- Hyperparathyroidism: Hyperparathyroidism occurs when your parathyroid glands make too much of a hormone that regulates calcium, potentially causing bone pain, weakness, and kidney problems. Fortunately, effective treatments exist to help manage calcium levels and enhance your quality of life.
- Testicular Dysfunction: Decreased testosterone levels, a common part of aging, can cause symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and mood changes; discussing these issues with a doctor can lead to effective management and improved vitality.
- Neuroendocrine Tumors: Neuroendocrine tumors, arising from hormone-producing tissues, may cause various symptoms depending on their location; however, effective treatments are available to manage these symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Thyroid Cancer: Thyroid cancer involves the uncontrolled growth of cells in the thyroid gland, but various treatments, tailored to your specific situation, are available to control the cancer and minimize its impact on your health, helping you maintain your independence and enjoy your golden years.
- Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones, which can lead to fatigue and weight gain, but it's easily managed with medication to improve your energy levels and overall well-being.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about Endocrine care with Dr. Danielle Neuman:
- What is an Endocrinologist?
- Dr. Neuman is a medical doctor specializing in the endocrine system, the glands and hormones that control many bodily functions. She is an expert in managing conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, and osteoporosis in older adults, helping maintain overall health and prevent problems.
- My primary care doctor manages my diabetes. Why would I need to see an endocrinologist?
- Your primary care doctor does an excellent job managing your diabetes. However, an endocrinologist can be a valuable partner when blood sugar is challenging to control, complications arise, or advanced treatments like insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitors are needed. We work together to achieve the best possible diabetes management for you.
- What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause?
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve common symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. It involves taking medication containing female hormones to replace the ones the body no longer makes. Dr. Neuman can discuss the potential benefits and risks of HRT based on your individual health profile.
- My doctor found a lump or 'nodule' on my thyroid. Is it cancer?
- Thyroid nodules are very common, and over 95% are benign. Dr. Neuman will likely perform an ultrasound to evaluate the nodule, and if needed, a simple fine-needle aspiration biopsy can be done to confirm the diagnosis.
- What are the common symptoms of a thyroid problem?
- Common thyroid problems, both underactive (hypothyroidism) and overactive (hyperthyroidism), can present subtly in seniors. Symptoms of hypothyroidism may include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and feeling cold, while hyperthyroidism may cause weight loss, a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and feeling hot. A simple blood test can accurately check thyroid function and help diagnose any issues.
- What is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)?
- A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a small, wearable device that tracks your glucose levels around the clock. It provides a more complete picture of your blood sugar trends than traditional fingersticks, helping Dr. Neuman and you make more informed decisions about food, exercise, and medication to better manage your diabetes.
- How are high cholesterol and triglycerides managed?
- Managing high cholesterol and triglycerides is important to prevent heart problems. Lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet and exercise are usually the first steps. If lifestyle changes aren't enough, Dr. Neuman can prescribe medications, such as statins, to help lower cholesterol to a healthy level.
- What can be done to treat osteoporosis?
- Treatment for osteoporosis focuses on preventing fractures. This includes ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing exercise, and fall prevention strategies. Dr. Neuman can prescribe various medications for those at higher risk to slow bone loss or build new bone.
