#1. If you have any experience with Dr. Banda from Premier Medical, please share your experience with me.

Thank you.
If you don't mind, the first question is who determined you need a thyroid biopsy? Assuming it was your PCP, the next question is who did he/she recommend?
Most thyroid biopsies are performed by surgeons, and needle biopsies by interventional radiologists, although I'm sure there are a few endocrinologists who are qualified to perform them. I'm sorry I can't help with specific doctors however.
