Konstantinos Segkos, MD, ECNU
Board Certified Endocrinologist
Dr. Segkos graduated from the University of Athens, Greece. He subsequently moved to the US, where he received his residency and fellowship training at the University of Massachusetts and The Ohio State University. He is a board certified endocrinologist. He also has the prestigious Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound (ECNU), which attests to his expertise in ultrasound and ultrasound guided procedures of the neck. He has a special interest in the disorders of the thyroid, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, and is committed in helping patients with benign symptomatic thyroid nodules avoid surgery, by offering and utilizing the thyroid radiofrequency ablation procedure.
Sharla Morgan, APRN FNP-C
Nurse Practitioner
Sharla is an AANP board‑certified nurse practitioner with a Master’s Degree in Nursing from Brigham Young University. Since 2012, she has specialized in endocrinology, with an emphasis in thyroid and parathyroid disorders. As a clinician with a personal history of thyroid cancer, she brings a unique understanding to her work. Her experience as both a provider and patient strengthens her commitment to evidence-based care, patient education, and empathy. Outside the clinic, she enjoys cycling, skiing, hiking, and traveling.
Ultrasound by ECNU Certified Ultrasonographer

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.
Preoperative Lymph Node Mapping
Preoperative Lymph Node Mapping
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.
Use of Molecular Testing in Thyroid FNA
Use of Molecular Testing in Thyroid FNA
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 for Treatment of Thyroid Cancer
Radioactive Iodine for Treatment of Thyroid Cancer
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.
Parathyroid Localization
Parathyroid Localization
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.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Thyroid Nodules
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Thyroid Nodules
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!
