Why Use Ft. Lauderdale Endocrine Surgery for Your Endocrine Care?

• We have 30 years of combined endocrinology and endocrine surgery experience and we are NOT an endocrine surgery mill.
• We have developed a boutique care model (no assembly line, no technicians or medical residents providing care-we take care of you personally) for endocrine surgery and take great pride in providing high tech service with a personal touch.
• We have pioneered a new, collaborative, medical and surgical approach to the work-up and minimally-invasive surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism, thyroid nodules and adrenal nodules.
• Our co-ordinated endocrinologist/endocrine surgeon pre-operative evaluation (all under the same roof) maximizes patient convenience and minimizes the likelihood of a non-curative surgical outcome.
• Our board-certified ultrasonographer and  endocrinologist, Dr. R. Mack Harrell, performs all ultrasonography for parathyroid localization and all thyroid nodule biopsies himself.  There are no ultrasound technicians involved and no communication issues with anonymous radiologists.
• Our use of rapid intra-operative parathyroid hormone measurement allows us to avoid the pitfall of missing a second overactive parathyroid gland during minimally invasive parathyroid surgery.
• Our board-certified and sub-specialty trained endocrine surgeon, Dr. David Bimston, has extensive experience with minimally invasive surgical techniques for the removal of parathyroid, thyroid and adrenal tumors (thus minimizing your time in the hospital).
• We have co-managed hundreds of thyroid and adrenal nodule surgeries since 2002.
• We keep track of what we are doing and contribute to the world medical literature (see Endocrine Practice Article).
• Imperial Point Medical Center is widely recognized for having the finest hospital out-patient surgery unit in South Florida.
• Where else in the United States can you undergo a minimally invasive endocrine surgery in the morning and recover on the beach in the afternoon?
• We are not a threat to your primary care doctor or your local endocrinologist. We do not want to take over your endocrine care for the rest of your life.  We treat your surgical endocrine problem and send you back to your local physicians with an endocrine cure and a full operative and medical report.
