As a small gland situated in the front of the neck, your thyroid plays a pivotal role in many aspects of your health. The thyroid generates hormones that help regulate your metabolism, energy levels, heart function, body temperature, and more. When an oversupply or insufficiency of these hormones is produced, it can result in a thyroid condition, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. At Mashpee Family Medicine, our experienced physicians specialize in identifying and treating thyroid disorders. If you believe you may have a thyroid condition, we can provide thyroid testing at our office in Mashpee, MA. Contact our team to schedule a visit today.

Since the symptoms of thyroid disorders can sometimes be mistaken for other problems, it's not uncommon for the condition to go undetected at first. At Mashpee Family Medicine, we employ thorough diagnostic testing to help us reach the correct diagnosis and offer the appropriate treatment. First, you'll meet with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and health history, and then a blood panel will be performed. Once a diagnosis has been reached, a personalized treatment plan will be provided. Typical treatment includes medication, dietary plans, and lifestyle changes. Your physician will work with you to monitor your symptoms through follow-up visits to our office.

Thyroid disorder symptoms, like fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and brain fog, can put a damper on your overall health. If you're dealing with signs of an overactive or underactive thyroid, get in touch with the trusted team at Mashpee Family Medicine in Mashpee, MA. Our compassionate physicians will work to diagnose your disorder and help you get back to feeling better again.
