Credentials
About
A specialist's path to the endocrine system
Dr. Hira Irfan is a Consultant Endocrinologist and Diabetologist with fellowship training in both Internal Medicine and Endocrinology & Diabetes. Her training took her from King Edward Medical University in Lahore through residency and an endocrinology fellowship at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, with clinical observerships in Michigan, USA along the way.
Today she manages a wide spectrum of endocrine conditions — diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and pituitary & adrenal disease — with an emphasis on evidence-based treatment, clear patient education, and long-term disease management rather than one-off fixes.
Areas of care
Conditions she treats most often
Every plan starts with listening — then testing, treating, and following up until numbers and symptoms both improve.
Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1, Type 2, and complex insulin management, tailored to daily routines rather than generic charts.
Thyroid Disorders
Hypo- and hyperthyroidism, nodules, and thyroid cancer follow-up, including radioiodine therapy planning.
Metabolic Syndrome
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar addressed together, not as three separate problems.
Weight & Obesity Management
Medical weight management grounded in metabolic testing, including newer therapies where appropriate.
Pituitary & Adrenal Disease
Prolactinoma, adrenal insufficiency, and other hormonal disorders requiring specialist interpretation.
Complex & Rare Cases
Insulinoma, gastrinoma, SIADH, and other uncommon presentations — informed by published case work.
Speaking & academic work
On stage as often as in clinic
