Metro Detroit Endocrinology Center

What Metro Detroit Endocrinology Center does

Metro Detroit Endocrinology Center is a privately held, founder-led medical practice headquartered at Platinum Medical Center in Dearborn, Michigan, specializing in the diagnosis and management of endocrine disorders in adult and pediatric patients. Founded by Dr. Opada Alzohaili, M.D., F.A.C.E., the center has grown over 20+ years to serve more than 35,000 patients and offers core endocrinology services including diabetes care (Type 1, Type 2, gestational), insulin pump management, thyroid disease treatment, ultrasound and dynamic hormonal testing, and management of adrenal, pituitary, calcium, and metabolic conditions. A differentiated offering is Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure for shrinking thyroid nodules without surgery or lifelong hormone replacement.

Operationally, the center has expanded into a multi-specialty platform through the Metro Detroit Specialty Center umbrella, which integrates podiatry (Platinum Podiatry Center, including diabetic limb salvage and foot/ankle reconstruction), optometry (Platinum Eye Center, covering diabetic eye exams, glaucoma, and dry eye), and registered-dietitian services including the Ideal Protein Diet weight-loss program and genetic testing for personalized nutrition. Walk-in clinic availability, a clinical rotation program for international medical graduates, and patient engagement tooling (healow patient portal, Phamily SMS) extend the operating surface beyond scheduled specialist visits. Hospital affiliations include Beaumont, Providence, Children's Hospital of Michigan, and Wayne State University, where the founder serves as Clinical Assistant Professor and Chief of Endocrinology.

The business model is fee-for-service medical practice revenue, billed through Medicare and major commercial insurance with patient co-payments collected at the point of service. GTM is sales-led via a physician referral network, patient self-referrals, and word-of-mouth, supported by local health-fair participation and digital presence (website, healow portal). The center accepts long-tenured chronic-care relationships documented in patient testimonials spanning pediatric-to-adult continuity. Ownership is founder-controlled with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent-company ownership, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
