ENT Doctor versus an Endocronologist

[LadyA10]

After a routine physical, my physician referred me to an ear, nose & throat doctor.  Diagnosis was a multinodular goiter.  I had an ultra sound and then a fine needle biopsy.   Biopsy showed follicular lesions.   This is another question for later.  My question now is why an ear, nose & throat doctor? Wouldn't it be better to go to an endocronologist?  Would this type of doctor be better prepared to handle this type of situation?  Surgery was recommended for my diagnosis.

Probably because endos don't do surgery.  And because you can get into an ENT quicker.  It can take 4 months or more to get an endo appt.

I'd see an endo for a second opinion.  An ENT recommending surgery definitely has a conflict of interest.  ENT may be correct, but why not have a second opinion before putting yourself through all that?
