We are now offering RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) as a cutting edge treatment for thyroid nodules. This brand new RFA technique is a non-surgical option for appropriate patients to avoid a thyroid surgery and anesthesia. RFA shrinks thyroid nodules and saves thyroid function. The RFA procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. Read more!

Genetic Testing is the FUTURE of care in the diagnostic workup of thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules are very common and most thyroid nodules DO NOT need surgery for a diagnosis. This is because most thyroid nodules are not cancerous. We have several tools we can use to decide which nodules need surgery and which ones don’t. Ultrasound
