The ATA has designed this information with you in mind. Each thyroid disease topic has a FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and a Patient Education Web Brochure for you to read. First and foremost, it is important that you see an endocrinologist for treatment of your thyroid disease. Clinical endocrinologists who are ATA members and see patients can be found through Find a Thyroid Specialist. Because the staff at the ATA are not medical professionals, they cannot answer your individual questions or give medical advice.
