Thyroid Disease

Thyroid diseases are very common. Some type of thyroid disease affects more than 20 million Americans, many of them female. Women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid disease.

While many thyroid problems require only medical treatment, some disorders do require surgery. At Henry Ford Health System, our thyroid surgeons are experts at treating all types of thyroid disease.

Our thyroid disorders center is a leader in the area. Each year, we see hundreds of patients seeking treatment for a thyroid condition. Our expertise and advanced surgical techniques enable us to provide the best outcomes for our patients.
