Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does Dr. Cohen treat?
Dr. Cohen specializes in surgery of the thyroid and parathyroid glands — including thyroid nodules, goiters, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, and thyroid cancer — as well as surgical oncology, breast cancer surgery, and benign and malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. He offers minimally invasive and robotic approaches whenever they are appropriate.
When do I actually need thyroid or parathyroid surgery?
Not every nodule or lab abnormality requires an operation. Dr. Cohen believes in taking measures to help you avoid surgery when it is safe to do so. When surgery is the right choice — for a suspicious or cancerous nodule, a large goiter causing symptoms, or a parathyroid tumor driving high calcium — he explains exactly why, and what the least-invasive option looks like.
What is minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid surgery?
Rather than a large incision, minimally invasive techniques use a small, well-hidden incision and precise dissection — often as same-day surgery. For selected patients, robotic and remote-access approaches can avoid a visible neck scar entirely. The result is typically less pain, a faster recovery, and an excellent cosmetic outcome.
Do you treat thyroid cancer?
Yes. Dr. Cohen treats both the prevention and surgical management of thyroid cancer, and works closely with endocrinology and oncology so your care is fully coordinated. Early, expert surgery offers the best outcomes for most thyroid cancers.
Do you offer second opinions and telehealth visits?
Yes. Second opinions are welcome and encouraged, especially after a new cancer or nodule diagnosis. Dr. Cohen also offers Telehealth / Telemedicine visits so you can be seen virtually — call 310-986-3359 to arrange one.
