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.

Earlier this year a routine blood test showed my thyroid enzymes were a bit out of whack and my regular doctor had me do an ultrasound.
They had the needle biopsy done by an interventional radiologist and happily it was deemed normal.
