Thyroid Surgery

Specialized care for thyroid nodules, goiters, and cancer

Overview

About This Service

Thyroid surgery requires precise technique to safely remove diseased tissue while preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerves that control your voice and the parathyroid glands that regulate calcium. Dr. Muffoletto brings extensive endocrine surgical experience to every thyroid case.

Whether you need a lobectomy for a suspicious nodule or a total thyroidectomy for cancer or large goiter, Dr. Muffoletto personally guides you through evaluation, surgery, and recovery — coordinating closely with your endocrinologist when needed.
