Brian A. Swiglo, MD
My specialties:
- Endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism
Professional interests:
- Thyroid disorders
- Diabetes
- Diabetes technology
- Virtual visits
I am a board-certified endocrinologist specializing in diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism. I have professional interests in thyroid disorders, diabetes, diabetes technology, diabetes and pregnancy, pituitary disorders, calcium, parathyroid and vitamin D disorders. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Best part of my work: Reconnecting with a patient after they have made a significant improvement in their health, such as lowering their A1C levels or losing weight.
What I tell friends and family: Drinking one glass of wine or beer each day is much healthier for you than having one can of pop each day.
How I spend my free time: Hiking, spending time outdoors, traveling, spending time with my wife and family.
What patients say about me: I am caring, professional, thorough and a good listener.
Favorite health tip: Regular exercise and healthy eating are essential to good health - there is no substitute!
Practice philosophy: My goal with each patient is to provide education and guidance, so that together, we can make the best decisions for their health.
