Endocrinology-focused care, without the wait
Be or Become provides hormone therapy and endocrinology-focused care in Whitinsville, led by Ehab Zekri, FNP. If you’ve been waiting months for an endocrinology appointment, or you’ve been told your labs are “normal” while you still feel off, this is a place that will take the time to look closer. We see patients from Northbridge, Uxbridge, Sutton, Grafton, Douglas, Upton, Mendon, Millbury, and across the Blackstone Valley.

Our approach
Full lab panel
Not a single TSH or testosterone level. We order the complete workup the first visit.
Interpreted against symptoms
Results are read against how you feel, not only the reference range.
Adjusted with repeat labs
Treatment is tuned on a schedule until you’re stable.
Referral when needed
If a condition needs a specialist, we refer and coordinate rather than leave you to find one.
Your first visit
Plan on about an hour. We review your symptoms, history, prior labs if you have them, and current medications, and order the labs we need that day. At the follow-up we go through results together and start treatment. Most patients have a clear plan within two visits.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral?
Most plans don’t require one to see us. If yours does, we’ll tell you when you call.
Can you manage my thyroid medication if I was diagnosed elsewhere?
Yes. Bring your most recent labs and medication list and we’ll take over from there.
Do you treat type 1 diabetes?
Yes, including patients on insulin pumps and CGMs.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a few weeks, not months.
