Endocrine Surgery

Leaders in Endocrine Care

Established in 1979, the Division of Endocrine Surgery at the University of Michigan was the first of its kind in the United States. Since that time, we have grown to become one of the largest endocrine surgery divisions in the country, performing over 1,000 endocrine surgery operations annually.

Our surgeons are specially trained in endocrine surgery and care for patients with disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, endocrine pancreas and gastrointestinal tract and offer state of the art surgical care including both traditional and minimally-invasive approaches.

We are also experienced in the care of patients with genetic disorders such as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN I, IIa, IIb), von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome, and other familial endocrine syndromes.

We work closely with other physicians in the Division of Metabolism Endocrinology and Diabetes, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology and Gastroenterology to provide a true multidisciplinary approach to your care.

The Internet can be a very helpful source of information as you research the endocrine condition in which you are interested. However, the quality of the information you find can vary widely in accuracy or objectivity. If you don't find the information you need on our website, we recommend the patient education website from the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons. The information there has been written and approved by experts and has been judged by patients using the site as both accurate and objective.
