What is a Head & Neck/Endocrine Surgeon?

Head and neck/endocrine surgeons are highly trained ENT physicians who specialize in treating tumors and disorders of the endocrine glands in the neck. They have extensive expertise in both benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck, as well as salivary gland tumors and issues with the thyroid and parathyroid glands. This level of expertise comes from their formal fellowship training and personal experience with these complex conditions. Trust these skilled surgeons for exceptional care in this highly specialized field.

Head and neck and endocrine procedures include the following:

• Thyroidectomy
• Para thyroidectomy
• Parotidectomy
• Excision of submandibular gland for infection or tumor
• Excision of benign and malignant laryngeal (voice box) tumors
• Excision and reconstruction of tumors of the mouth, larynx, pharynx, and neck
• Excisional of congenital masses of the head and neck

Some of these tumors involve more than one site in the head and neck, and it is not unusual for some tumors to require a team approach, including head and neck surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, rhinologists and skull base surgeons, and neurosurgeons.

In-Office Ultrasound

Office-based ultrasound is fast becoming an essential tool in the management of neck disease. It enables our clinicians to more fully answer questions pertaining to head and neck anatomy, progression of the disease, pathology, and preoperative mapping. It provides the patient one-stop service with more accurate, higher-yielding guided biopsies, all without the need to expose the patient to radiation.
