Thyroid and Adrenal Center
Thyroid and adrenal tumors are common, often discovered accidentally and usually benign and harmless. It is important to evaluate these tumors to ensure they are benign and to assess for any hormonal abnormalities associated with them. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for these conditions at the Eskind Diabetes Clinic, including medical management, testing, biopsies, non-surgical and surgical procedures.
Conditions We Treat
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Enlarged thyroid
- Goiter
