Thyroid expert — here to support you
Consult with Dr. Guttler
Dedicated to helping you understand the emotional and physical effects of thyroid nodules, goiter, and cancer.
Dr. Richard Guttler is a thyroid expert dedicated to helping patients cope with the emotional and physical effects of discovering a thyroid condition — whether a nodule, goiter, or cancer. Quality of life issues persist even after surgery, radioiodine, or a lifetime of thyroid hormone therapy. The emotional impact of learning you may have a cancerous nodule is devastating. The first sign of thyroid disease is the best time to see your physician — and to reach out to Dr. Guttler for support in understanding what lies ahead for you and your family. He will not treat you, but he will support you.

Why Thyroid.com is different from every other thyroid Q&A site
A major online question-and-answer website is generic — your thyroid question is answered by an endocrine fellow, a physician still in training who rotates through many conditions and has limited hands-on thyroid experience.
An endocrinologist treats diabetes, adrenal disorders, pituitary disease, and many other conditions. Thyroid is only a fraction of their practice. That is not a thyroid expert — that is a generalist within a specialty.
On Thyroid.com, your question is answered by Dr. Guttler personally — a physician who devoted his entire 50-year private practice exclusively to thyroid disease, treating thousands of thyroid patients and nothing else.
There is a meaningful difference between a physician who sees some thyroid patients and one who has spent a lifetime doing nothing but thyroid. Dr. Guttler is the latter.
