Thomas Jefferson University Hospital‘s Thyroid Treatment Center offers patients a unique multidisciplinary approach to the
treatment of certain thyroid disorders, along with faster service than has traditionally been available. The Center’s director
is Jeffrey L. Miller, MD, who is also Director of Clinical Endocrinology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
Jefferson’s Thyroid Treatment Center can greatly benefit the five to six percent of females and two percent of males in the
general population who have growths on their thyroids. It is the only center of its kind in the Philadelphia area.
Treatment of suspicious thyroid growths usually requires the patient to see several different physicians individually and
wait days or weeks before they have all the information they need. At the Thyroid Treatment Center, Dr. Miller and a team
consisting of thyroid surgeons, nuclear medicine specialists, cytologists and researchers can often streamline this process
to just one office visit.
In that visit, patients first meet with an endocrinologist who reviews their individual cases and possibly suggests further
tests and/or needle biopsies. Once the tests have been conducted and the results received, the multidisciplinary team meets
to discuss diagnoses and treatment strategies. By the end of the day, patients learn all their treatment options, including
whether surgery is an option. The usual anxiety created by an extended diagnostic period is reduced, and the patient has a
head start on treatment.
