Expert Diagnosis & Treatment for Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, and Other Thyroid Conditions

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. When the thyroid produces too much or too little hormone, it can lead to thyroid disorders, affecting various aspects of health. At Nova Patient Care, our expert primary care providers offer comprehensive thyroid disorder management, including early detection, personalized treatment, and long-term monitoring to optimize your health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I know if I have a thyroid disorder?

Common symptoms include unexplained weight changes, fatigue, mood swings, and heart rate irregularities. A simple blood test can confirm thyroid imbalances.

2. How often should I get my thyroid levels checked?

If you have a known thyroid condition, you should check your TSH levels every 6-12 months or as advised by your doctor.

3. Can thyroid problems be treated naturally?

While medications are the primary treatment, lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, stress management, and avoiding iodine deficiency can support thyroid health.

4. Does Nova Patient Care offer same-day thyroid testing?

Yes! We provide same-day appointments for blood work and thyroid function testing at our urgent care and primary care locations.

5. What happens if a thyroid nodule is found?

Thyroid nodules are common and often harmless. However, we may recommend ultrasound monitoring or a biopsy if there’s a concern about growth or malignancy.
