Thyroid & Endocrine Center of South Texas

Welcome to the Thyroid & Endocrine Center of South Texas

Located at 540 Madison Oak Dr #270, San Antonio, TX 78258, the Thyroid & Endocrine Center of South Texas is your trusted destination for comprehensive thyroid and endocrine care. Under the expert leadership of Dr. Kathleen Hands, a pioneer with over 40 years of dedicated experience, our center is renowned for its innovative approaches to thyroid health.

Dr. Hands has been instrumental in preserving hundreds of thyroid glands annually, utilizing advanced genetic markers to monitor nodules without the need for surgical intervention. Traditionally, large compressive nodules—even when benign—required surgical removal to alleviate symptoms. However, Dr. Hands is thrilled to offer a groundbreaking, non-surgical solution: Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation. This minimally-invasive treatment for large benign thyroid nodules aims to prevent the need for surgery, providing relief and peace of mind for patients experiencing compressive symptoms.

As the first female endocrinologist in North America to perform this revolutionary procedure, Dr. Hands is committed to advancing thyroid care. Patients at our center have reported exceptional outcomes since the procedure became available in the U.S. last year, reflecting our dedication to cutting-edge endocrine treatments.

Thyroid disease is the second most common endocrine disorder affecting women of childbearing age, with significant implications during pregnancy and postpartum. Our center is equipped to address these complex issues, providing specialized care for conditions such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and postpartum thyroid dysfunction.
