Hospital and Academic Endocrinology Programs in the Phoenix Area

Most specialist endocrine care in the metro is organized around a handful of hospital systems and teaching programs. Which one you see usually depends on your insurance network, your referring doctor and where you live. This page reports what each program publishes about itself, nothing more.

At a glance

Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix

Banner's endocrinology page lists care for adrenal problems, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), pituitary problems, thyroid and parathyroid disease, and metabolic diseases. Its Diabetes and Endocrine Institute includes an Endocrine Surgery Center and a Thyroid, Parathyroid and Adrenal Center, run from the hospital campus as part of the Banner – University Medicine Institutes.

Banner reports that U.S. News & World Report named the hospital a 2026–2027 Best Regional Hospital, No. 3 in Phoenix and No. 3 in Arizona (Banner Health). U.S. News says the hospital treats “a very high number of patients with diabetes and endocrine-related diagnoses” and rates it High Performing for Diabetes. The U.S. News web address still uses the hospital's former name, Banner Good Samaritan, so don't be thrown if you see it.

University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix

The college's Division of Endocrinology runs a two-year, ACGME-accredited Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Fellowship. Trainees work at sites including the Phoenix VA and Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. The division's faculty page lists Christian Nasr, MD, Professor of Medicine, as division chief.

For patients, this means some endocrine care at Banner – UMC Phoenix and the Phoenix VA happens in a teaching setting, where physicians in fellowship training may be part of your care team. You can always ask who will see you.

Mayo Clinic in Arizona (Scottsdale)

Mayo's endocrinology page lists its Arizona contact as Mayo Clinic Endocrinology, 13400 E. Shea Blvd., Scottsdale, AZ 85259, phone 800-446-2279. Mayo's Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism & Nutrition has locations in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota, and Mayo states that its Phoenix/Scottsdale campus is ranked among U.S. News Best Hospitals for diabetes and endocrinology.

Location labels can be confusing. Some Mayo endocrinologists list their location as Phoenix, as this example profile shows, while the endocrinology contact address above is in Scottsdale. We link the profile only to illustrate the labeling, not as a recommendation. Check the street address on your appointment confirmation.

Endocrine surgery at Mayo in Arizona is a separate division within surgical oncology and endocrine surgery. Mayo also runs a two-year endocrinology fellowship in Phoenix/Scottsdale, which accepted its first fellow in July 2022.

Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center

St. Joseph's, at 350 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85013 (main phone 602-406-3000), lists endocrinology among its services, including diabetes, thyroid disorders and osteoporosis. It describes itself as a not-for-profit academic hospital.

The outpatient endocrinology clinic is Dignity Health Medical Group Specialty Medicine – St. Joseph's, 500 W Thomas Rd, Suite 900B, Phoenix, AZ 85013, phone 602-406-3300. It covers endocrinology, diabetes and diabetes education, along with infectious disease. Note that the clinic and the hospital have different street numbers and phone lines.

Valleywise Health and District Medical Group

Valleywise Health is Maricopa County's public health system. Its endocrinology service treats diabetes and thyroid and adrenal disorders. The endocrinologists come from District Medical Group, which sees adults and children.

• Valleywise Comprehensive Health Center – Phoenix: 2525 E. Roosevelt St., Phoenix, AZ 85008. Phone (833) 855-9973. Open Monday–Friday, 8:00–5:00. In-person or telehealth appointments with District Medical Group doctors.
• Valleywise Comprehensive Health Center – Peoria: 8088 W. Whitney Dr., Peoria, AZ 85345, listed by District Medical Group for endocrinology.

Hours and telehealth details for the Phoenix center come from its location page.

Phoenix Children's

For children, Phoenix Children's has a dedicated endocrinology division led by Chirag R. Kapadia, MD. Its Avondale campus page lists an endocrinology phone number, 602-933-0935, which may be closer for West Valley families. Phoenix Children's also runs a pediatric endocrinology and diabetes fellowship. District Medical Group endocrinologists at Valleywise also list care for children.

HonorHealth

We did not find a dedicated HonorHealth endocrinology department page. HonorHealth's site lists endocrinologists on individual physician profiles; this example shows the specialty as Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. U.S. News publishes a list of endocrinologists at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center, which it ranks No. 2 in Arizona and No. 2 in Phoenix. We link these as starting points, not recommendations.
