Dr. Segkos is ECNU (Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound) certified by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, for ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures of the neck.

This is done with ultrasound of the lymph nodes of the anterior neck, and requires extensive medical expertise. It is absolutely necessary for the planning and success of surgery for thyroid cancer, so that cancerous lymph nodes do not remain in the neck.

Sometimes, thyroid FNA cytology results are "indeterminate". For those indeterminate nodules, when indicated, we utilize molecular testing to be able to further risk stratify them. That way, many patients can avoid surgery for those cytologically indeterminate nodules.

Radioactive iodine is, many times, but not always, useful in the treatment of thyroid cancer that is considered higher risk. We utilize the most up-to-date medical evidence and guidelines, and recommend this treatment only when it is truly indicated.

We have successfully localized hundreds of parathyroid adenomas on ultrasound, with very high parathyroid localization rates, significantly increasing the chance of success of parathyroid surgery for our patients.

Thyroid RFA significantly decreases the volume of thyroid nodules, and there is no scar or hypothyroidism afterwards! We have performed this procedure on many patients, with excellent results! Read more here!
