The new Center for Thyroid & Parathyroid Care at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center offers those diagnosed with a condition of the thyroid or parathyroid — the tiny glands at the base of the thyroid — specialized, quality care close to home. Referrals can be made through a primary care physician. In addition to trained surgeons and diagnosticians, the center offers patients a nurse navigator to assist them every step of the way.
“The goal of the center is to provide a streamlined transition from diagnosis through recovery, and to facilitate the best surgical quality and safety,” says Paul Frake, MD, Co-Director of the center, who is a board certified otolaryngologist (head & neck surgeon) and is a member of the Medical Staff of Penn Medicine Princeton Health. “When you are diagnosed with a medical condition that requires specialized care, knowing you are in good hands and have a centralized approach to treatment helps reduce some of the stress.”
“The Princeton Thyroid & Parathyroid Center provides world class patient-centered care to patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease,” says Tomer Davidov, MD, FACS, Co-Director of the center, and a board certified general surgeon and a member of the Medical Staff of Penn Medicine Princeton Health. “Our experienced team of endocrinologists, endocrine surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists work closely together to provide seamless state-of-the-art medical and surgical care for patients with thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, Graves’ disease, and hyperparathyroidism.”
