Finding a Top Thyroid Surgeon

By , About.com GuideJune 18, 2007

Follow me on:

Maybe you have a large goiter or nodules that are interfering with your breathing or swallowing. Or a suspicious lump might be cancer, and you need a thyroidectomy to remove the gland. Or your Graves' disease has not responded to radioactive iodine.

Any way you look at it, your endocrinologist has said that you need thyroid surgery. It's not enough to schedule your surgery with a general surgeon...you need an experienced thyroid surgeon.

Find out why it's so important, and how to find the best surgeon for the job.
