I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when I was 18 and had a complete thyroidectomy at that time. Now I'm 30, and coming back for additional treatment. Throughout everything, I've become quite familiar with the research around the procedures I have gone through and have looked all around the country for the best doctors of this field. Originally from Chicago, and spending time at Stanford, I am now here at UCLA. This time around feels better, like I've been through this before. So far, my time here has been really good, the doctors have been informative and very methodical with their approach.
