WHAT DRIVES YOU?
I built the thyroid program at South Nassau because
I saw the ongoing surge in this disease – 6.5 percent
increase every year – and wanted to fi nd new ways to
help patients cope and beat thyroid cancer.
WHY IS THYROID HEALTH IMPORTANT?
People should not have to suffer from fatigue, changes
in weight, sweating and trouble sleeping associated with
many thyroid disorders that are treatable.
WHY CHOOSE SOUTH NASSAU?
Our team of specialists understands the complexities
of the thyroid and works together to design the best
treatment plan to target each patient's specifi c needs.
