Hi! I'm Dr. Maria Bernal Riera

YOUR ONLINE ENDOCRINOLOGIST AND PARTNER IN OPTIMIZING YOUR HORMONAL HEALTH.
Dr. Maria Bernal Riera

My journey to Apex Endocrinology began with my passion for endocrinology.

I am fascinated by the intricate interplay of hormones in health and disease and the reasons behind hormonal imbalances.

I encountered skepticism as someone interested in exercise, wellness, mindfulness, and the science behind resources that can help us live better lives. Nonetheless, I remained committed to my goal of providing high-quality care to patients. Witnessing the negative consequences of hormonal treatments administered by non-qualified individuals motivated me to pursue a career in endocrinology, where I can make a positive difference in people's lives.

After much thought, I decided to create my own space for patients. I aim to provide top-notch hormonal and metabolic medical care that does not rely on insurance companies. Additionally, I desire to share my knowledge with my patients. As both a physician and a person, I hold the core values of authenticity, equality, respect, and empathy in high regard. I firmly believe in lifelong learning and staying humble to provide the best care possible.
