Weill Cornell Endocrine Surgery provides comprehensive treatment approaches to a full range of diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, as well as endocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas-from the more common and benign disorders to relatively rare malignancies.

Our team of experts will provide individual care for the management of these disorders from the initial clinic consultation, through the surgery, and all follow-ups. With the integrated approach of dedicated surgeons, ancillary support staff, and clinicians in nuclear medicine, and pathology, our aim is to deliver tailored medical options for all our patients.

Our program offers treatment approaches using novel cutting edge approaches that reduce the recovery time and provide patients with options for surgical approach. Using minimally invasive techniques in parathyroid and thyroid surgery our team aims to reduce the appearance of neck scars. Also adrenal and pancreatic surgery is routinely approached laparoscopically through small incisions with most patients having a short recovery and a quick return to normal daily activity.

In addition to providing outstanding individualized clinical care, we are committed to advancing the field of endocrine surgery through research and education – investing both time and resources into studies to find better treatments that not only cure patients, but also improve their quality of life.
