Dr. Ang received his medical degree at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines, and completed his fellowship in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the State University of New York in Syracuse, New York.

“Medicine is an intellectually challenging and rewarding career that provides the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of other people and a positive impact in my community,” said Dr. Clark. She particularly enjoys developing meaningful relationships with her patients and discovering together what treatments and management strategies might fit their lives best.
Endocrinology is the study of hormones, which act as chemical messengers controlling a wide range of functions in the body and are produced by the endocrine glands like the thyroid, pituitary or adrenal glands. Endocrinologists are medical doctors that treat diseases related to problems with hormones.
