Dr. Maryam Zamanian is your source for a passionate and experienced Endocrinologist and Diabetes Specialist in Plano, TX and Dallas, TX.

Dr. Zamanian earned her medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. She completed her internal medicine training at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and her Endocrinology training at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Shortly after her residency training, she engaged in private practice of internal medicine at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas for a few years before pursuing a fellowship in Endocrinology.

As a Diabetes Specialist, Dr. Zamanian uses her training, experience, and latest research information to ensure your diabetes is under control.

Even though your primary care physician has done a great job working at controlling your diabetes, perhaps it's time to see a specialist if:

• Your doctor recommends you have an evaluation with a specialist.
• Your primary care physician has not treated many diabetes patients.
• If you are having complications or difficulty managing your diabetes. In addition, you should see a specialist if you are having frequent low blood sugars (hypoglycemia) or have ever had drastic low blood sugar or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• Conventional treatment does not work. Endocrinologists and diabetes care teams use a wide range of treatments to help you with difficult-to-control diabetes.
• You want to know about the latest research or treatment options.
• You take three or more injections a day or use an insulin pump.

A board-certified Endocrinologist does more than treat diabetes. Endocrinologists also treat people who suffer from hormonal imbalances, typically from glands in the endocrine system. The goal of treatment is to restore the normal balance of hormones found in a patient's body. Common conditions that Dr. Zamanian treats include:

Common conditions other than diabetes that Dr. Zamanian treats include:

• Menopause
• Metabolic disorders
• Overproduction or underproduction of hormones
• Growth problems
• Thyroid diseases
• Osteoporosis
• Cancers of the endocrine glands
• Hypertension
• Infertility

Double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Zamanian uses her experience in internal medicine to provide the best possible treatment and care for Diabetes.
