Thyroid RFA: Learning more with Dr. Kathleen Hands
Today, I'm catching up with Dr. Kathleen Hands of San Antonio, Texas again. As the first endocrinologist in the country to become ECNU certified (Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound), she possesses tremendous skill in use of the technology to accurately perform ultrasound-guided biopsies on thyroid nodules. This is a vital skill for a thyroid-focused physician, and has translated to her adoption of thyroid RFA. Since late 2019, Dr. Hands has been saving thyroids through thyroid RFA; not only by treating her patients, but also through training fellow doctors. In speaking with Dr. Hands, its clear that she is passionate about this topic. She feels strongly that RFA is the best option for preserving many patients' quality of life.
