The Department of Otolaryngology’s endocrine volumes have been on the rise in recent years. In 2018, the department had more than 618 thyroid and parathyroid cases. 

“Our endocrine volumes are some of the highest in the nation,” said Dr. Glenn Peters, Julius N. Hicks Professor of Otolaryngology. “Our numbers have been on the rise the last four years and I believe they will continue to trend upward.”

The department sees everything from parathyroid and thyroid cases.
