Who Specializes in Thyroid Issues?

Thyroidologists are endocrinologists who specifically study, diagnose, manage and treat the thyroid gland. So when should you see an endocrinologist or even a thyroidologist?

What kind of doctor do you go to for thyroid problems?

But there are situations in which you may need to have an endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in the endocrine system, oversee your care. An endocrinologist is particularly knowledgeable about the function of the thyroid gland and the body's other hormone-secreting glands.

Should I see an ENT or endocrinologist for thyroid?

If you suspect that you have thyroid nodules you should contact an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) or endocrinologist. Typically, an ultrasound scan will be carried out to determine the condition of the thyroid gland, and a fine needle biopsy may be carried out.
