Why Choose Endocrine Surgery at Vanderbilt
- Depth of expertise
Our surgeons are fellowship trained and specialize in treating the most complex endocrine surgical conditions. Patients who have received a diagnosis or treatment elsewhere often come to us for a second opinion because of our extensive experience performing endocrine surgeries.
- Collaborative care
Because endocrine problems may involve different areas of the body, we bring together experts in endocrine surgery, cancer care, radiology and genetics. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan to meet your unique needs.
- Genetic counseling
Inherited endocrine conditions can often go unnoticed. We offer comprehensive genetic evaluation, counseling and testing for patients who may have a family history of endocrine disease. This service allows you to make the most informed decision about your health.
