I've been wondering this for a while.

My therapist and doctor both pronounce it '-dial' like dialing a phone number.
I always thought it was more like a combination of 'perennial' and 'creole'
At least that is how I thought the chemical suffix was pronounced.

Anyone else have input? Proper pronunciation or just opinion?

I always pronounced it -di-ol (ol like on doll). can check what my drug reference says on it.
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.

The woman who took my blood test called it "est-ra-dil"... that's how I say it to!

I say es-tray-dee-all, but the pharmacist always says es-trah-di-all. I've heard it both ways :P

My family doctor says all his medical terms in old English because that was how he was taught. I find it odd as he pronounces estradiol differently as well  :P.

I took a course in medical terminology as part of my schooling. I was taught
ess-tra-DAI-awl.
di means 2, ol means it has an alcohol group, and other chemicals with two alcohol groups are also pronounced DAI-awl, at least in America :)
