What Does a Thyroid Doctor Do?
The thyroid gland helps with various jobs through the body like body temperature, hormones, cholesterol levels, reproductive health, and much more. To accurately provide medical advice, our staff usually begins by spending time with you to learn about your family history and current lifestyle. They will likely coordinate some blood tests to determine how much T-3, T-4, and TSH is released in your bloodstream. Other physical exams are performed to measure its size, check for related disorders, and also determine whether goiters are present.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck under your Adam’s apple. Thyroid goiters can develop gradually over time and usually are accompanied by other symptoms like weight loss and gain, erratic moods, bulging eyes, along with additional symptoms.
Dr. Omar Akhter’s approach is patient-centered as he focuses on building relationships of mutual trust and respect for all his patients. At Madina Medicine, we put our heart and soul into helping patients take control of their own health back and trust in their treatment plan. This world is full of medical misinformation and it’s important to us that we spend the needed time to educate our patients on the right way to care for themselves holistically. Our belief is that if you take care of the whole body, then the thyroid will also heal as the whole body achieves optimal wellness. This can help patients with any affiliated diseases, hormone imbalances, and other medical issues heal as well.
