Pituitary

Information

The Pituitary Gland

Is located at the base of your brain. It is responsible for producing multiple hormones that control thyroid function, growth and stress response among others.

A pituitary gland that produces too much or too little of any hormone may cause a disorder. Dr. Hector Granados can diagnose and treat pituitary disorders.

If your child needs to be evaluated upon concerns of a pituitary problem, call or text our office at (915) 642-9444 for an appointment or you can use our secure online appointment request form.
