I dealt with parathyroid disease for years. Finally o was referred to dr. Kandil for surgery. But because I’m 80 y old he recommnded ablation instead. I’m fully cured and all my symptoms are gone. He is a kind caring doctor and outstanding surgeon. I’m blessed that he took care of me and I’m trying to refer all my friends to him. I’ve never seen a caring physician with great bedside manners as Dr. Kandil.

Dr Kandil is great! I had an ablation on thyroid nodules that are now gone, and just had to have two of my parathyroids removed. I’m doing great and the scar is almost undetectable after only three weeks. I highly recommend him!

I had life changing parathyroid surgery that brought my calcium levels down and protected my kidneys and helped me to better control my blood pressure and polyuria. Dr. Kandil and his team has helped me to improve my quality of life. So professional and they treated me like family.

Guitarinius

I have been seeing Dr.Kandil for over 10 years. I had been suffering with high calcium labs and ultra sounds prior to seeing Dr. Kandil that did not show any thyroid issue. Dr. Kandil diagnosed my problem immediately which was my thyroid. He performed an ultra sound and labs. I had thyroid surgery in 2014 and have continued with follow up with Dr. Kandil. Dr. Kandil has outstanding credentials, works with a professional team, he is very thorough, compassionate and is very open to hear what his patients have to say. Dr. Kandil is very state of the art in his professional field. I am very thankful to have Dr. Kandil as my doctor.

Meet Dr. Emad Kandil

National leader in minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid care

Dr Emad Kandil is one of the most experienced endocrine surgeons in North America and a global leader in advanced thyroid and parathyroid ablation. With more than two decades in academic medicine, he has helped thousands of patients avoid traditional surgery through safe, precise, and minimally invasive techniques. His expertise spans the full spectrum of modern ablation technologies, including heat based, microwave, and non thermal approaches.

Traditional Thyroid Surgery vs Minimally
Invasive Thyroid Ablation

A safer and more comfortable alternative for many thyroid nodules

Traditional Thyroid Surgery

  • Requires an incision in the neck
  • General anesthesia
  • Hospital stay and longer recovery
  • Possible voice changes
  • May require lifelong thyroid medication
  • Cosmetic concerns due to scarring
  • Higher downtime from work and daily life
  • Removes part or all of the thyroid

Minimally Invasive Thyroid Ablation

  • No incision and no visible scar
  • Local anesthesia only
  • Outpatient procedure
  • Designed to protect surrounding structures
  • Preserves thyroid function in most patients
  • Natural appearance with no surgical scar
  • Get back to your day within a few hours
  • Targets only the nodule and keeps the gland intact

Common Symptoms of
Thyroid Nodules

Thyroid nodules can cause discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or changes in daily life. Recognizing symptoms early helps you explore non surgical options before considering traditional surgery.
  • Pressure or fullness in the neck
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Visible swelling in the neck
  • Voice changes or hoarseness
  • Persistent cough
  • Discomfort when lying down

A Modern Non Surgical Solution

Minimally invasive thyroid ablation offers a safe and effective way to shrink thyroid nodules without removing the gland. This approach preserves thyroid function, avoids a neck scar, and allows you to return to normal life quickly.
