The Pioneer of RFA and Laser Ablation
Dr. Andrade is best known for pioneering the RFA treatment of the thyroid and the Laser Ablation in the United States, dominating the path for major institutions to start following his lead. These revolutionary treatments are performed as outpatient procedures under local anesthetic. The procedures are done to avoid thyroid surgery of benign nodules that are more than or equal to two (2) centimeters in size. Before the procedures are done, two Fine Needle Aspirations of the Thyroid Nodule (FNA) are obtained to verify the lesions are benign.
The RFA and Laser Ablation procedures help patients avoid conventional thyroid surgery and abnormal thyroid/parathyroid functions that may occur as a result of it. After 30 minutes of post-procedure observation, patients can go home and resume their daily activities.
Our center is committed to assuring patient success and Dr. Andrade continues to improve on our innovative methods for treating thyroid nodules. Contact us to learn more about our lead physician or how RFA and Laser Ablation works.
