ASHTABULA COUNTY MEDICAL
CENTER (ACMC) welcomes Cleveland
Clinic Endocrinologist Ula Abed
Alwahab, MD. Dr. Abed specializes
in diabetes and other diseases
affecting the endocrine system and
the body’s metabolism, and has a
special interest in female and male
infertility. She is now scheduling appointments and will
see patients on the first floor of the hospital.
An endocrinologist diagnoses and treats patients
for hyperthyroidism, goiters, Grave’s disease, Cushing’s
disease, hypoglycemia, Addison’s disease, disorders
of the pituitary gland, infertility, thyroid cancer and
hyperaldosteronism.
The body’s endocrine system secretes hormones into
the bloodstream. These hormones regulate the activity
of cells and organs and help the body convert calories
into energy. When the body experiences a hormonal
imbalance, it can lead to a variety of health problems.
Dr. Abed completed her endocrinology fellowship at
Cleveland Clinic and a residency at Emory University
School of Medicine in Atlanta. She is board-certified in
internal medicine.
“Dr. Abed’s experience at Cleveland Clinic has prepared

for diagnosis and treatment,” said ACMC President and
