Diagnostic Procedures
● Comprehensive Head & Neck Exam: Focused evaluation of the throat, neck, thyroid region, salivary glands, and lymph nodes
● Flexible Laryngoscopy: An in-office camera exam to evaluate the voice box and throat when symptoms suggest deeper causes.
● Imaging Coordination (when indicated): CT, MRI, or ultrasound can be obtained to evaluate masses, glands, or deeper structures.
● Needle Biopsy Coordination (when indicated): For thyroid nodules or neck masses, biopsy may be recommended to guide next steps.
Minimally Invasive and Surgical Treatments
Thyroid Surgery
A procedure performed in the operating room to remove part or all of the thyroid gland for conditions such as thyroid nodules, goiter, or thyroid cancer. Our approach emphasizes precision and safety, with careful attention to complex anatomy and nearby structures involved in voice and calcium regulation.
Surgery is individualized based on imaging, biopsy results when available, and symptoms, with a clear recovery plan and follow-up pathway.

Parathyroid Surgery
A targeted operation performed in the operating room to treat overactive parathyroid glands that can raise calcium levels and contribute to fatigue, kidney stones, bone loss, or other symptoms. When appropriate, a focused approach can remove the abnormal gland while preserving normal tissue.
Our ENT specialists guide evaluation, specialized imaging work-up including 4D CT parathyroid imaging and ultrasound, and surgical planning to help restore healthy calcium balance and support long-term wellness.
Salivary Gland Surgery
An operating-room procedure used to treat salivary gland conditions such as stones, chronic infections, or tumors. Depending on the underlying cause and location, treatment may involve removing obstruction, addressing chronic inflammation, or surgically treating gland disease.
Our team focuses on accurate diagnosis, thoughtful planning, and a recovery pathway that supports comfort, function, and long-term results.
