Thyroid Specialist & Endocrinologist in Miami

What the thyroid does

The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that produces hormones affecting metabolism, energy, temperature, heart rhythm, weight, menstrual cycles, and pregnancy health. Too little or too much thyroid hormone can cause symptoms throughout the body.

Symptoms and signs

• Fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, cold intolerance, or hair thinning
• Palpitations, tremor, anxiety, sweating, heat intolerance, or unexplained weight loss
• Neck fullness, goiter, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or a thyroid nodule found on imaging
• Irregular menstrual cycles, fertility concerns, pregnancy thyroid changes, or postpartum thyroid symptoms

Diagnosis and testing

Thyroid evaluation often includes TSH, Free T4, sometimes T3, and thyroid antibodies. A high TSH may suggest underactive thyroid, while a low TSH may suggest overactive thyroid, but interpretation depends on the full lab pattern and clinical context.

Thyroid nodules and ultrasound

Thyroid ultrasound helps characterize nodules by size and appearance. Some nodules only need monitoring, while others may need fine-needle aspiration biopsy or referral depending on risk features.

Treatment and monitoring

• Hypothyroidism medication management with careful dose adjustment
• Hyperthyroidism treatment planning and monitoring
• Long-term lab follow-up to avoid over-treatment or under-treatment
• Coordination for thyroid cancer evaluation or surgical referral when appropriate
