Goiter (abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland)
Graves’ disease (an immune system disorder that results in overproduction of thyroid hormones, or hyperthyroidism)
Hashimoto’s disease (also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, a condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid, often leading to hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid)

Our Services

Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation and consultation to determine if surgery is the right treatment for them.

We provide the full range of diagnostic and treatment services for endocrine-related disorders in adults that require surgery. The surgical services we offer include both open and minimally invasive techniques for:

Parathyroid surgery to remove one or all four parathyroid glands (parathyroidectomy).
Thyroid surgery including thyroid lobectomy (removal of half the thyroid gland) and total thyroidectomy (removal of the entire thyroid gland).
