Read moreWelcome. If you are on this site, you or someone you care for has either been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism or has symptoms that point to hyperparathyroidism. This condition can be confusing on many levels:
Add to these complexities the fact that people that have hyperparathyroidism often find themselves feeling that they can’t think as clearly as they did before, and anxious about how to make the correct choice.
We understand, and hope that this website, which was developed after years of treating these complex patients, is helpful in guiding you.
Hyperparathyroidism is a rare and destructive disease that presents with symptoms that can affect the entire body, some of which are very debilitating. Because hyperparathyroidism is a rare condition, it is often poorly understood, even by physicians who are specialists. The only curative treatment for hyperparathyroidism is surgery, which has a very high success rate when performed with precision and planning by a surgeon with extensive experience not only in parathyroid surgery, but also in surgery of the entire neck.
Make sure you are diagnosed correctly.
Choose the appropriate course of treatment; observation vs. medical treatment vs. minimally invasive surgery.
Choose the appropriate scan to identify the abnormal gland or glands.
Decide what is the best surgical option to treat your hyperparathyroidism.
You will find lots of information on our website. This information is constantly updated because our understanding of hyperparathyroidism is constantly evolving. The hyperparathyroidism surgery that we offer today is not the same as what it was 5 or even 2 years ago; it is improving as the field of parathyroid disease is becoming more informed and knowledgeable. There is no one formula to treat all patients; every individual suffering from hyperparathyroidism has a different disease presentation and thus needs to be assessed individually and treated with a lot of attention to detail.
We are fortunate to be in a position to help a lot of people suffering from this unusual disease and have high cure rates (upwards of 97%). We love helping people navigate through this challenging condition and treatment. If you think we can help you please don’t hesitate to contact us.
