Hi, I'm William Horton. I'm an endocrinologist here at the University of Virginia. I take care of patients with endocrine diseases which typically relate to the hormone system in the body. Anything from diabetes to thyroid disease to polycystic ovary syndrome and osteoporosis. I myself live with Type 1 diabetes, which I think provides a unique perspective on what it's like to live with a chronic disease. That motivated me to want to pursue clinical care of patients who also live with chronic diseases. And then my father was also a physician. He was a general internist, a primary care doctor. And seeing the loving, compassionate care that he provided to patients was a real motivation for me to enter medicine as well. When I first meet a patient, I will introduce myself. I'll take time to get to know their background, their clinical history, and also just their personal history. How the disease or the issue that they're coming to see me for affects their quality of life. And then over time, we'll work together to hopefully find the ideal treatments that will help manage their disease, but also treatments that will fit their lifestyle so that they have the quality of life that they desire. And so I think that's something that is really motivating and also really valuable on my side and the patient side.
