Evaluation and treatment for thyroid and parathyroid diseases
At UCSF Health, we have expertise in diagnosing and treating noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) thyroid and parathyroid conditions. Our head and neck surgeons provide a quick and accurate diagnosis so you can get the care you need.
We offer painless in-office parathyroid and thyroid ultrasounds for diagnosis, surgery planning and cancer surveillance. We can usually perform diagnostic ultrasounds during your initial consultation, so you don't need a separate visit.
If you need surgery, you'll find a highly skilled team specializing in the latest minimally invasive techniques. A minimally invasive approach uses smaller incisions, so you have less visible scars and faster healing.
