My name is Kirk Faust MD. Our Website discusses thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules, Multi-nodular goiter, hyperparathyroidism and adrenal tumors. I am a General Surgeon. Our Practice is exclusively
Endocrine Surgery. This site is designed to be a resource for our patients to help them understand surgical diseases that affect the major endocrine organs and how we approach them in our practice. The function and non-surgical diseases of the endocrine system will be discussed only to the degree it clarifies surgical problems. Specific information about disease processes, pre-op and post-op care guidelines, decision methodology, our qualifications and outcome information is presented.
