The Center for Diabetes and Endocrine Care (CDEC)
Welcome to The Center for Diabetes and Endocrine Care. Whether you've just been diagnosed, are seeking a second opinion, or are looking for a new long-term endocrine home, we're glad you're here.
Our practice has been serving South Florida since 1974, and our team brings together more than 150 years of combined physician experience in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, thyroid disease, and complex endocrine and metabolic disorders. From the moment you walk in, you'll be cared for by a team that treats every patient like family — taking the time to listen, explain, and partner with you on a treatment plan that works for your life.
At your first visit, you can expect a thorough review of your medical history, a focused physical exam, and a clear, plain-language conversation about what's going on and what comes next. Many of our diagnostic services — including lab work, thyroid ultrasound, and biopsies — are available on-site, so you can get answers faster and with fewer outside appointments.
We accept most major insurance plans and offer both in-office and telehealth visits. To make your first appointment as smooth as possible, please bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any relevant lab results or imaging from prior providers.
We look forward to caring for you!

Dr. McDonald is wonderful. I’ve been trying to find an endocrinologist that will actually listen and I felt like he heard me and wants to help me get to the root of my problem.
July 3, 2026Olivia T.Verified patient
Provider: Dr. McDonald was very thorough and made sure to hear all of my concerns! Even when I was a bit of a pest with remembering things of concern.
Office: The single form that the office has you fill out was a bit much. It’s hard to get a hold of anyone if you’re not already established. As an overweight queer person I did not fit in the chairs they had available, but it’s okay.
Staff: Brienna was also super nice and accommodating. The phlebotomist KNOWS what she’s doing and this coming from a person who’s a hard stick. While this appointment was my initial one, I feel I’ll be well taken care of here.

Dr McDonald is a great listener...he thinks...he doesn't just prescribe the obvious he listens and takes MY needs into consideration. Highly recommended

Great experience. Very competent and friendly staff. Dr. Lerman is very professional, knowledgeable and most importantly very kind.
July 9, 2026Chanelle R.Verified patient
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sam Lerman, MD. Endocrinologist.
From the moment I walked into his office, I felt I was in the hands of a physician who truly cares about his patients. He took his time reviewing every exam and imaging study himself before reaching any conclusions. Rather than rushing through the appointment, he carefully explained everything, performed a thorough examination, answered all of my questions, and even waited for additional test results before making a diagnosis.
I spent over an hour and a half with him, and at no point did I feel rushed. His professionalism, attention to detail, patience, and genuine concern gave me tremendous confidence during a very stressful time.
It had been a long time since I met a doctor with this level of dedication. I highly recommend Dr. Lerman to anyone looking for an endocrinologist who combines exceptional expertise with genuine compassion.
Highly Recommended
