Thyroid Disease

We use the latest medications available to control your thyroid function. If you have hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), your medication serves as a hormone replacement therapy. If you have hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), your medication prevents your thyroid from producing too much thyroid hormone. Follow-up blood tests may be necessary to ensure your body is responding well to your medication and dose.

Also known as thyroid RFA, this minimally invasive, outpatient treatment targets benign, abnormal thyroid tissue. It is performed by a board-certified interventional radiologist, who has expertise in image-guided surgery. During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted through your skin to the thyroid tissue. The tip of the needle emits heat to destroy a thyroid nodule. Some large nodules may require multiple sessions. This treatment is beneficial because it targets only abnormal tissue, sparing healthy tissue around it. 

Ablation is a technique used regularly to treat a variety of benign and cancerous growths, however it is not recognized by insurance companies as a standard of care for benign thyroid nodules that cause pain or make daily activities harder, but don’t disrupt hormone levels or threaten your health. As a result, treatment of thyroid RFA costs incurs out of pocket costs. Imaging and doctor visits are typically covered by your insurance.
