Signs of
Parathyroid Disease

Parathyroid disease (hyperparathyroidism) is often caused by overactive glands producing too much parathyroid hormone, leading to elevated calcium levels in the body. Symptoms can be subtle at first but may progress over time.
Common symptoms to watch for:
  • Persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Bone loss or osteoporosis
  • Kidney stones
  • Muscle weakness or joint pain
  • Frequent urination or dehydration

About Parathyroidectomy

Parathyroidectomy is a targeted surgical procedure to remove one or more overactive parathyroid glands, most commonly performed to treat hyperparathyroidism and restore normal calcium balance. These glands play a key role in regulating calcium levels through parathyroid hormone (PTH), and when they become overactive, surgical intervention is often the most effective solution.

Parathyroidectomy Techniques

Parathyroid surgery is most often performed through a small, minimally invasive incision in the neck, allowing for precise removal of overactive glands with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. This targeted approach enables accurate gland identification, effective treatment of hyperparathyroidism, and a strong focus on both outcomes and recovery.

In select cases, when a patient is already undergoing robotic thyroid surgery, a robotic approach may be used to address both conditions simultaneously. Every procedure is carefully tailored to the patient’s specific condition, ensuring the safest and most appropriate surgical plan.

Conditions We Address

with parathyroid surgery

The most common condition requiring parathyroid surgery, where one or more glands become overactive, leading to elevated calcium levels in the blood.
It occurs when the parathyroid glands have been working overtime for so long that they eventually lose the ability to turn off; unlike the more common primary type, it almost always develops in people with chronic kidney disease or those on long-term dialysis.
Long-standing secondary hyperparathyroidism that becomes independent and may require surgical treatment.
Conditions caused by abnormal parathyroid hormone levels that affect bone health, kidney function, and overall metabolism.

Dr. Suh was the first doctor I’ve ever had who focused on wellness of the mind, body, and soul.
Hands-down one of the best doctors I’ve seen in my 27 years of life. He is intelligent, compassionate, and outstanding in every way. I’m so grateful to have found him!

He even predicted questions I didn’t have.
He let me know all the risks, benefits, pros, and cons of every single option I had and any path stemming from my current state. I felt completely ready to tackle my thyroid nodule.

– S.G

Dr. Suh’s skills as a thyroid surgeon are unsurpassed and world-class.
I have no neck scars, my trachea is back to the correct position, and I’m sleeping better—back to my normal self in under a week. Thank you to Dr. Suh and your team. You are the BEST!

– Minnie

I had a robotic thyroidectomy with Dr. Suh in 2024 and couldn’t be happier. I was really nervous at first, but Dr. Suh was so kind and reassuring, always answering my questions ... recovery was fast (I was even able to fly to Hawaii after 4 weeks!), and best of all—there’s no scar on my neck.I am extremely grateful to have found Dr. Suh and would highly recommend him to anyone considering thyroid surgery. If you are looking for a no neck-scar, fast-healing option, robotic thyroidectomy with Dr. Suh is absolutely worth considering.
