Contact UsWhat Causes Thyroid Disorders?
The thyroid gland is located in the neck and is responsible for the regulation of nutrient processing, heart rates, and other important bodily functions. When there is an over- or under-production of hormones released from the thyroid gland, the chemical balance of the body is disrupted and can cause issues that affect your weight, sleep, mental health, and more. Primary care physicians Dr. Esmilkrys B. Ramirez and Dr. Carlos Mella-Picel diagnose and treat hypothyroidism (too little hormone produced) and hyperthyroidism (too much hormone produced), as well as other conditions of the thyroid gland to give Chicago, IL area patients relief from the symptoms caused by a thyroid disorder.

We’ve been with Health Direction since 2020 and have been happy with how they take care of us. The transition to the Livewell app has made everything smoother and more efficient. Easier to schedule visits and easier to communicate with the physicians/staff regarding our needs. The front desk staff are also friendly and accommodating. Overall a pleasant experience with them!
I enjoyed my experience at the clinic. I felt cared for and they listened to my needs. At the end of the day my symptoms improved and I feel calmer. Thank you!
I Love this clinic I had never felt so comfortable at a doctors visit! Dr.Mella is such a good listener and answers all my questions in details. I recommend this place very neat and friendly!
