Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is an Endocrine Surgeon?
An endocrine surgeon is a doctor with extra training in surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. This special focus means we are experts in treating problems with these specific glands.

2. I was told I have a thyroid nodule. Does this mean I have cancer?
No, not at all. Most thyroid nodules are not cancerous. We do tests like an ultrasound or a small needle biopsy to find the very few that might be a problem and need to be removed.

3. What is hyperparathyroidism?
This is when at least one of the tiny glands in your neck, called the parathyroid, becomes overactive and raises the calcium level in your blood. This can make you feel tired, cause bone pain, or lead to kidney stones. The only cure is a simple surgery to remove the overactive gland.

4. Why would someone need adrenal gland surgery?
You might need adrenal surgery if a growth on your adrenal gland is making too many hormones, which can throw your body off balance, or if the growth is large and might be cancer. We can often do this surgery with very small incisions utilizing the Da Vinci Robot.
