Endocrine Society member Terry Davies, MD, the Florence and Theodore Baumritter Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Bone Disease) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, will co-direct the new Mount Sinai Thyroid Center at Mount Sinai Union Square.
The new facility, located at 10 Union Square East, is the first and only center in Manhattan, and in the Northeast, to offer comprehensive thyroid care in a single location. “It is one-stop shopping, which is what we all want when we go to the doctor,” Davies says. “If your physician says you need to see another specialist, it’s nice if he or she is in the next room.”
Davies is also on the editorial board of the Journal of the Endocrine Society.
The Mount Sinai Thyroid Center at Mount Sinai Union Square provides multidisciplinary treatment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and the best possible treatment. Endocrinologists, surgeons (from general surgery and otolaryngology), radiologists, and pathologists are located under one roof and work together to create specialized treatment plans and seamlessly coordinate treatment. Lab tests, ultrasound, and biopsies are done on the spot to ensure quick diagnosis and expedite therapy.
“It is one-stop shopping, which is what we all want when we go to the doctor. If your physician says you need to see another specialist, it’s nice if he or she is in the next room.”
Additionally, the Mount Sinai Thyroid Center will lead breakthrough research in both clinical and lab settings. Having multidisciplinary physicians in one location will help enhance the understanding of thyroid disease by conducting new clinical trials. By combining their expertise, doctors hope to make discoveries about the biology of thyroid cancer and drive advances in managing this condition. They will also analyze outcomes of new, advanced surgical techniques.
Maria Brito, MD, an assistant professor of medicine (Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Bone Disease) at the Icahn School of Medicine will be co-director of the center with Davies.
