Dr. Maureen Passaro works as an adult endocrinology specialist in Olney, MD. Dr. Passaro attended New York Medical College.

"Very unprofessional doctor. Seems very unconcerned with patient symptoms. She goes strictly by lab work only. She doesn't even consider anything other then lab work. Ultra Sounds, ect. I was told I have issue with my thyroid and not knowing if its cancerous or not. Symptoms are much worse then when I first saw this Dr. I tried what she told me and it didn't work. In order for me to take care of others because I am in health care as well I need to take care of myself. God put people on this earth to help not brush people off. I'm not wasting no time but I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Its possible that its cancer and not even know it until it's to late. While this Dr sits in her office with her ARROGANT self passing judgement without even really making sure I could be dying right now. Something that could of be prevented. Now 2018 & we are no further then before. This dr looks at Calcium levels instead actually making sure even if the primary care dr calls with a concern for the patient. She brushes people off and not a good dr. I will make sure everyone knows about her. The only reason she has a good rating is because she was actually the only Endocrinology Dr listed for years and always the first one that pops up in the HOSPITAL LOGS and in the system. It doesn't matter what I say of think about her but as a professional woman I have NO RESPECT FOR THIS LADY. She gives MEDSTAR A BAD NAME. STAY HUMBLE M PASSARO. Maybe she treats people this way because of the type of insurance they have. PATHETIC! "

"She ordered thorough lab tests, explained the results, and took time to make sure I understood the findings and implications. I was able to avoid unnecessary treatments and worry.

What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is a medical specialty that deals with glands and hormones. Hormones are substances that act like chemical messengers between parts of the body. They are produced by glands, and travel in the bloodstream throughout the body where they act on different organs and cells to affect many different functions of life. Hormones control our appetite, growth, reproduction, and energy. When there is too little or too much of a hormone, an endocrinologist can help restore the balance.

Endocrinology problems are sometimes difficult and complex because hormones travel throughout the body and can affect more than one system. A single, simple imbalance can produce multiple, very different symptoms. Just a few of the diverse diseases treated by an endocrinologist include:

Diabetes (where insulin is not produced in the body or is not working well, and blood sugar levels rise, which damages tissues)
Hypothyroidism (where thyroid hormones are not produced well, reducing cell metabolism and energy)
Precocious Puberty (where reproductive hormones are produced too early in a child's life)
Gigantism (where growth hormones are overproduced, leading to unusual size)

Endocrinology can contain subspecialties where physicians focus their care on specific groups of patients. For example, some endocrinologists are diabetic endocrinologists who know specifically how to care for diabetics' particular needs in eye care, circulation, and foot care. Pediatric endocrinologists treat children. Whatever their subspecialty, all endocrinologists have the same goal: restoring balance when the body's messaging system is not working correctly.
