Specializes in Internal Medicine - Endocrinology

Find a specialist: You may have hemochromatosis and will need an endocrinologist to evaluate your hormones and they may send you to a hematologist or other specialist to evaluate the high iron.

Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Ask your family doc: When looking for any specialist, start by asking your family doc for references. Who would s/he send his/her family to for an evaluation? Who would s/he go to him/herself? High iron (possibly due to hemachromatosis) can damage your liver and lower your testosterone production, so whitewashing w/testosterone replacement isn't a complete answer. Hematologist is a great place to go after family doc.
