Dr Carmela Caputo is a holistic Endocrinologist specialising in pituitary disease management. She also has a PhD in pituitary diseases.
Commencing practice in 2008, after undertaking endocrine training in London, Carmela returned to Australia working at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne as lead Endocrinologist in pituitary clinical services until 2021. She continues to work in collaboration with Melbourne’s most experienced pituitary neurosurgeons in private practice ensuring the best outcomes for pituitary patients.
Carmela is also a medical advisor for the Australian Pituitary Foundation, and helps directly to answer people’s medical queries; a role she considers vitally important and rewarding in meeting patient care and needs.
