Dr. Darius A. Schneider MD, PhD
Diplomate in Endocrinology and Metabolism

Dr. Schneider trained in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, and Metabolism at the Universities of Heidelberg, Germany, the University of California San Diego, and the University of Washington, Seattle and gained extensive experience in managing all subtypes of diabetes, thyroid disease, parathyroid disease, Cushing's syndrome and disease, pituitary tumors, prolactinomas and fertility, pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas, endocrine tumor syndromes, hypertension, lipids, and bone.

 

Additionally, Dr. Schneider is an accomplished basic and clinical researcher. He completed a Ph.D. with work in pancreatic islet transplantation - with Reinhard Bretzel in Giessen, Europe's first center for human pancreatic islet transplantation - and was subsequently awarded a Fulbright fellowship to undertake research in the field of diabetes and immunology in the lab of Matthias von Herrath at the prestigious "La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology", resulting in several influential research papers in high impact journals, and textbook chapters. Also, Dr. Schneider worked with William "Bill" Hagopian at the "Pacific Northwest Research Institute" in Seattle investigating risk scores for the prediction and correct diagnosis of diabetes subtypes as well as environmental factors in the development of Type 1 Diabetes (TEDDY study). 
Dr. Schneider is a co-investigator on several diabetes research studies, his research interests are focused on Type 1 Diabetes immunology, islet transplantation, and technology (artificial pancreas).
 

In 2019, Dr. Schneider joined "Diabetes and Endocrine Associates", the home of some of the world's best endocrinologists, Dr. Daniel Einhorn and Dr. Raymond Fink. Dr. Schneider strives to continue the legacy of these great mentors in providing state-of-the-art clinical care for patients with diabetes and endocrine disorders including thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, gonadal disorders and bone. He brings broad clinical expertise along with technical skills in thyroid ultrasound, biopsy, and radiofrequency ablation, and the latest breakthroughs in diabetes technology.

​

His extensive research background in endocrinology and immunology gives Dr. Schneider a unique perspective and underpins his pursuit of improved understanding of and better treatments for endocrine and related diseases.

 

Dr. Schneider is double ABIM board-certified in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine. Additionally, he holds the Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound (ECNU) from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), the Advanced Training Certification in Type 1 Diabetes from the Endocrine Society / JDRF and the Advanced Training Certification in Bone and Mineral Disease from Columbia University.
