In search of an endocrinologist for thyroid biopsy
 
I am looking for recommendations for an endocrinologist in or near The Villages. . .for a biopsy.

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

#2. If you have experience with another endocrinologist, a good experience, please share with me. . .especially if you’ve undergone a biopsy on thyroid.

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.

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.
