This center goes above and beyond! I learned that My calcium was unusually high from a doctor in Northern New York. My doctor referred me to an endocrinologist who checked my parathyroid hormone, and scanned my thyroid. She said the hormone was elevated slightly, and that the scan was alright. She monitored me by checking the hormone every 6 months, and scanning my thyroid every other year.
Seven years later I moved to Florida. My new doctor told me the hormone,(PTH), was elevated. She referred me to a doctor that could perform surgery. I assumed the doctor was part of the Norman Parathyroid Center. When I looked into it, he in fact, was not! I had read about the world famous center at Tampa General Hospital.
I had surgery at The Norman Parathyroid Center last week, June 2, 2020. I had a wonderful experience. I would like to mention the names of those at the center that I remember, because they did such an incredible job. Leo, Diane, Dr Mitchell, Dr Boone, the ladies that pushed wheelchair everywhere I needed to go, and helped me get dressed when it was time to leave, and the anesthesiologist. Dr Mitchell called me the night of the surgery. My scar is small and swollen. I expect the swelling will go down in a few weeks. There is an app that can be downloaded that gives you tons of information about the before, during and after details of the surgery. This is the place to go if you need this type of surgery!!!! Thank you to all involved.
