Endocrinologists

The offices and examining rooms of most physicians are well equipped, attractive, well lighted, and well ventilated. There is usually at least one nurse-receptionist on the physician's staff, and there may be several nurses, a laboratory technician, one or more secretaries, a bookkeeper, or receptionist.

Physicians usually see patients by appointments that are scheduled according to individual requirements. They may reserve all mornings for hospital visits and surgery. Twenty percent of endocrinologists surveyed by Medscape in 2024 indicated that working long hours was the most challenging aspect of their job. Thirty percent listed gratitude from/relationships with patients as the most rewarding part of their job that year.
