Our take: A well-regarded referral destination, with most reviewers describing thorough, patient-centered care, though one serious complaint about a specific visit is worth reading. On balance, the volume and consistency of positive reviews still support the rating.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score these practices

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated it, measured against the other endocrinologists on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from over a thousand reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

What does an endocrinology visit cost in Houston?

Cost depends heavily on insurance coverage, whether the visit is a new-patient consultation or a follow-up, and whether labs or imaging are ordered the same day. Several practices on this page list insurance information directly on their sites, so the most reliable figure is a direct call to your chosen practice with your insurance details in hand.

Endocrinology care across Houston

The practices above cover the Energy Corridor, Greater Heights, Bellaire, Upper Kirby, and the Texas Medical Center area, spanning most of Houston’s major medical corridors. If you’re searching for an endocrinologist near me, every listing below shows a live phone number so you can check current wait times and new-patient availability directly.

What to ask before you book an endocrinology visit

  • Does the practice accept my insurance, and what’s the estimated cost for a new-patient visit?
  • Are labs and imaging done on site, or referred to a separate location?
  • How far out is the next new-patient appointment?
  • Does the physician specialize in my specific condition (diabetes, thyroid, PCOS, hormonal)?
  • Is there a patient portal for messaging and prescription refills between visits?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these Houston endocrinologists?

We started from endocrinology practices in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these practices focuses specifically on diabetes?

Houston Thyroid and Endocrine Specialists carries a diabetes-center designation and reviewers describe strong diabetes-management support, though several other practices on this list also treat diabetes as part of general endocrinology.

Do any of these doctors offer bilingual service?

Dr. Andres Splenser’s practice lists bilingual English and Spanish service. Confirm language support directly with any practice before booking if that’s a priority.

The bottom line

The Endocrine Center is the safe default given its size and review volume, with the Greater Heights campus edging out on rating if you’re choosing between its two locations. Whichever you pick, bring prior lab work and imaging to the first visit so the physician has the full picture from day one.
