Searching for Good Thyroid Doctor in New Jersey

[CatieC]

I've been on Synthroid for Hypothyroidism for years. Recently my MD found a nodule. I had an US and a FNA done. Results of FNA showed adenoma, inconclusive whether benign or malignant.

I am writing this to ask for Endocrinologists or Thyroidologists in New Jersey, prefereably Hudson County. Although I will travel to a good doctor.

Thanks everyone for your help.

You *could* maybe get the slides and get a 2nd opinion or have the FNA redone again in a period of time ?

BTW, my ENT had his thyroid removed as a teenager he told me ..... I think that made all the difference .. also, he has done over 900 thyroidectomies.

Send me a private message.... I had a wonderful Top NY Doctors ENT perform my surgery flawlessly AND the hospital he is affiliated with has Top NY Doctors who is head of Pathology and he read my FNA & he actually came in the room and did a physical exam of the nodule, too .. mine were atypical.

Hospital was in Northern NJ but well-worth the travel.
