About Dr. Carneiro-Pla

“Parathyroid surgery requires a combination of skills to try to do these procedures with the least amount of risk and complications, and that is what experienced surgeons like endocrine surgeons have to be able to provide. You should always look for a specialized endocrine surgeon that does a lot of these procedures, so you can have a good outcome.”
