The thyroid and parathyroid glands are small but essential parts of the endocrine system, playing a critical role in regulating your metabolism, calcium levels, and overall body function. At ENT New York, we specialize in the diagnosis and surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid conditions, offering personalized care backed by experience and precision.
Thyroid nodules, goiters, and cancers are common issues affecting the thyroid gland. Many thyroid nodules are benign, but some require further evaluation through imaging, blood tests, and fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy to rule out malignancy. Likewise, parathyroid conditions—most often hyperparathyroidism—can lead to elevated calcium levels, fatigue, kidney stones, and bone loss, and may require surgical intervention.
Dr. Vandana Kumra provides comprehensive evaluations to determine the cause of thyroid or parathyroid abnormalities and guide the appropriate treatment path. When surgery is needed, she performs minimally invasive procedures with an emphasis on safety, precision, and preserving normal function. Dr. Kumra also collaborates with endocrinologists and radiologists to ensure continuity of care before and after surgery.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a thyroid nodule, abnormal calcium levels, or are experiencing symptoms such as neck swelling, hoarseness, or unexplained fatigue, ENT New York is here to provide expert evaluation and compassionate care tailored to your needs.
At ENT New York, we evaluate a range of thyroid conditions including thyroid nodules, goiters, thyroid cancer, and thyroid dysfunction that may require surgical consultation. We work closely with endocrinologists to ensure a comprehensive approach to your care.
A thyroid nodule is a growth within the thyroid gland. Most nodules are benign, but some can be cancerous or cause hormonal imbalances. Evaluation typically includes ultrasound imaging, blood tests, and possibly a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy.
Parathyroid disease, often caused by an overactive parathyroid gland (hyperparathyroidism), can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, bone pain, kidney stones, depression, and elevated calcium levels. Left untreated, it can lead to long-term complications.
Surgery may be recommended for thyroid nodules that are cancerous or suspicious, large goiters causing symptoms, or for hyperparathyroidism that results in high calcium levels or other complications. Dr. Kumra will explain all surgical options and guide you through the process.
Yes, thyroid and parathyroid surgeries are generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon. At ENT New York, Dr. Kumra uses precise, minimally invasive techniques to reduce risk and ensure optimal outcomes while preserving vocal cord and parathyroid function.
