We offer the latest in minimally invasive surgical approaches to best meet each patient’s needs.
Conditions we treat:
- Thyroid

- Hereditary endocrine syndromes
We work closely with our multidisciplinary teams across UT Southwestern to provide comprehensive endocrine neoplasia care to our patients with endocrine disorders.
Services We Offer
Some in-office procedures associated with endocrine cancer are available at this location, while most surgeries are performed at William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, across the street from the Cancer Care Outpatient Building.
Our endocrine cancer patients have access to Supportive Care, Psycho Oncology services, our Acute Care Clinic, clinical trials, and much more at the Cancer Care Outpatient Building.
Preparing for Your Appointment
We will coordinate with each patient to make the appropriate arrangements for your appointment, but there are a few things you can do to be prepared. Please:
- Bring your insurance information and/or a form of payment.
- Bring a list of your current prescriptions, over-the-counter (nonprescription) medications, vitamins, and supplements as well as a list of known drug allergies.
- Make sure you have had the appropriate conversations with our scheduling team to arrange for records associated with your diagnosis to be sent to our clinic if your previous care has been somewhere other than UT Southwestern.
- Feel free to bring someone with you, ask questions, and take notes.
