Save Your Thyroid with Jennifer Holkem
Thyroid nodules impact 70 percent of adults in their lifetime. The standard of care is surgical removal of half or all of the gland. But in recent years, nonsurgical treatment options have become available. Hi, my name is Jennifer Holkem and I advocate for fellow patients suffering with this very common condition. I sit down with patients and physicians and discuss life with thyroid nodules, the journey from diagnosis to treatment, and how to save your thyroid through nonsurgical advances in medicine.

More on Thyroid RFA with Dr. Kathleen Hands

More on Thyroid RFA with Dr. Kathleen Hands

This video was originally published on YouTube on 4/21/21.

Today, I'm catching up with Dr. Kathleen Hands of San Antonio, Texas for the second time. As the first endocrinologist in the country to become ECNU certified (Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound), she possesses tremendous skill in use of the technology to accurately perform ultrasound-guided biopsies on thyroid nodules. This is a vital skill for a thyroid-focused physician, and has translated to her adoption of thyroid RFA. Since late 2019, Dr. Hands has been saving thyroids through this nonsurgical procedure; not only by treating her patients, but also through training fellow doctors. In speaking with Dr. Hands, its clear that she is passionate about this topic. She feels strongly that RFA is the best option for preserving many patients' quality of life.
