Thyroid Care
Thyroid Care
The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that helps set the pace for your metabolism, energy, heart rate and body temperature. When it makes too little or too much hormone, the effects can be easy to miss at first — fatigue, weight changes, feeling cold or overheated, hair thinning, constipation, palpitations or trouble sleeping. Quentin Medical Pc looks after thyroid concerns as part of everyday primary care in Brooklyn, from the first blood test through long-term follow-up.
Conditions commonly managed
- Hypothyroidism — an underactive thyroid, often treated with daily hormone replacement and periodic lab checks.
- Hyperthyroidism — an overactive thyroid, which needs evaluation of symptoms such as tremor, weight loss and a fast heartbeat.
- Thyroid nodules or an enlarged gland — assessed and referred for imaging or specialist input when that is the right next step.
- Medication follow-up — dose adjustments guided by repeat testing and how you actually feel.
What a visit can include
- In-office blood draw — thyroid samples collected here and sent to the lab, so there is no separate trip.
- 12-lead EKG — a quick heart tracing when thyroid symptoms involve rhythm or palpitations.
- E-prescribing — prescriptions sent straight to your pharmacy.
- Patient portal — secure access to your lab results and visit summaries.
