Our Services

Our office offers the comprehensive medical services you need to preserve balance and quality in your life when faced with an endocrine gland problem, low bone density or thyroid disorder. Lab testing, thyroid ultrasounds and fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules are just a few of the advanced services we offer in.

Ultrasound

Thyroid ultrasound is a procedure that allows the physician to visualize the thyroid gland using high frequency inaudible sound waves as he or she is examining the neck.

Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

After cleansing the skin overlying the nodule, a very small needle is passed through the skin into the mass. During the procedure, which takes only a few minutes, the patient may briefly feel discomfort. After the biopsy, the patient will be able to drive, return to work, or perform any other normal activity. The biopsy does not affect medication schedules; nor does medication affect the biopsy results. The tissue is stained and sent to a cytopathologist to be examined. Results usually take 72 hours.
