He has a passion for caring for patients with thyroid disorders, including thyroid cancers across the risk and age spectrum, thyroid nodules (including performance of fine needle aspiration biopsy), hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism, along with parathyroid/metabolic bone disorders and endocrine cancers and related hereditary cancer syndromes. He also cares for patients with diabetes, adrenal, pituitary, and reproductive diseases. He is privileged to work in a close multidisciplinary team at the University of Rochester with colleagues in endocrinology, endocrine surgery/otolaryngology, nuclear medicine, medical oncology, and radiation oncology.
