• Osteoporosis & Bone Health

  Osteoporosis is a common condition affecting both men and women that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures especially as we age. More than half of women over 50 and around 10% of men will develop osteoporosis. It is the leading cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and older men. Diagnosing Osteoporosis At Greenwald Endocrinology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating osteoporosis, osteopenia, and low bone mass, which can increase the risk of fractures. These conditions are often asymptomatic, and many people are unaware they have them until they experience a fracture. Osteoporosis is typically diagnosed with a bone mineral density test (DXA scan). Once diagnosed, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough medical history, physical exam, and blood work. A 24-hour urine test for calcium is also done to assess calcium intake and rule out other conditions, such as idiopathic hypercalciuria. Treating Osteoporosis After completing your evaluation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include lifestyle modifications, dietary recommendations, exercise programs, and medications when necessary. Dr. Bonnie Wolf Greenwald understands that many patients are concerned about osteoporosis medications. However, all treatments aim to reduce the risk of fractures. Some therapies work by decreasing bone resorption (e.g., bisphosphonates like Fosamax and Reclast), while others stimulate bone formation (e.g., Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity). With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Greenwald offers expert care and will help develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Other Bone Health Disorders We Treat Hypocalcemia and Hypercalcemia (Calcium Imbalances) Calcium is essential for healthy bones, nerve function, and muscle contractions. When calcium levels are too high or too low, it can cause significant health problems. Hypocalcemia (Low Calcium): Symptoms include muscle cramps and tingling, and it often occurs after thyroid surgery or due to autoimmune conditions. Hypercalcemia (High Calcium): Symptoms include kidney stones, fatigue, bone pain, constipation, and brain fog. One common cause is hyperparathyroidism. At Greenwald Endocrinology, we specialize in diagnosing and managing calcium imbalances, identifying the underlying causes to ensure appropriate treatment. Parathyroid Disorders The parathyroid glands, located behind the thyroid in the neck, are responsible for producing parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps regulate calcium levels in the body. Disorders of the parathyroid can lead to various health issues. Hyperparathyroidism: Excessive PTH production causes high calcium levels, osteoporosis, and kidney stones. The most common cause is a parathyroid adenoma (benign growth of the parathyroid gland). Hypoparathyroidism: Insufficient PTH production leads to low calcium levels and muscle spasms. This condition is often caused by damage or removal of the glands during surgery. Why Choose Greenwald Endocrinology?

• Thyroid Disorders

  Expert Care for Thyroid Conditions At Greenwald Endocrinology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating thyroid disorders, offering personalized care to help you achieve optimal thyroid function. Led by Dr. Bonnie Wolf Greenwald, we provide advanced expertise for a range of thyroid conditions, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. What is the Function of the Thyroid Gland? The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck, just below the voice box. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism through the production of thyroid hormones. Thyroid Conditions We Treat Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid) Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces excess hormones, leading to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and excessive sweating. Common causes include: Graves' Disease – An autoimmune disorder causing an overactive thyroid. Toxic Multinodular Goiter – Overactive thyroid nodules. Thyroiditis – Inflammation causing temporary hyperthyroidism. Treatment for hyperthyroidism is tailored to the cause, and may involve antithyroid medications such as methimazole, radioactive iodine, or surgery. Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin. Common causes include: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis – An autoimmune condition and the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Drug-induced, iodine deficiency, or postsurgical hypothyroidism. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement (levothyroxine, Synthroid, Levoxyl, Unithroid, Tirosint). The precise dosing of thyroid hormone needs to be titrated to find the optimal dose to return you to feeling your best. At times levothyroxine (T4) is not enough. In those cases adding liothyronine ( T3 or Cytomel) will be suggested in addition to levothyroxine. Also desiccated thyroid hormone such as Armour thyroid may be suggested. Management of Thyroid Nodules & Cancer Thyroid nodules are common, with over 90% being benign. Evaluation begins with an ultrasound to look at the characteristic of the nodule ( spongiform, hypoechoic, solid, smooth or irregular borders). If needed, a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy will be performed at White Plains Hospital to remove a sample of cells from the thyroid nodule. These cells are then sent to the pathology department at White Plains Hospital laboratories to determine if it is benign or cancerous. If a nodule is found to be “atypical” ( cells are unusual but not clearly cancerous) l and requires extra genetic testing our specimens are sent to Thyroseq via White Plains Hospital. If thyroid cancer is diagnosed, Dr. Greenwald provides expert management, including surgical referrals, possible radioactive iodine therapy, and long-term monitoring postoperatively. Benign thyroid nodules can continue to be monitored by ultrasound. Our Approach to Thyroid Care At Greenwald Endocrinology, we provide: Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing – Blood tests, ultrasounds, and biopsies. Personalized Treatment Plans – Tailored medication management and lifestyle recommendations. Long-Term Monitoring & Support – Regular follow-ups to ensure optimal thyroid health.

• Adrenal & Pituitary Disease

  Understanding the Pituitary & Adrenal Glands The pituitary and adrenal glands are essential components of the endocrine system, producing hormones that regulate vital functions in your body. Pituitary Gland – Produces hormones like growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone.

Conditions We Treat Pituitary Disorders Benign Pituitary Tumors – Including prolactinomas and growth hormone-secreting tumors. Malignant Pituitary Tumors – Rare but serious tumors requiring specialized treatment. Hormonal Imbalances – Conditions like Cushing's disease, acromegaly, and hypopituitarism.
