Thyroid Disorders:
Sequoia Medical 360

Comprehensive Evaluation & Treatment in Bronxville and Westchester, NY

The thyroid gland may be small, but its influence on your health is immense. Shaped like a butterfly at the base of your neck, it governs your metabolism, energy levels, cardiovascular health, and even mood. When thyroid function becomes imbalanced, the effects ripple through nearly every system in the body.

At Sequoia Medical 360, we provide precision diagnosis and individualized treatment for the full spectrum of thyroid disorders. Guided by Dr. Tony Mathews’ dual fellowship training in Preventive Cardiology and Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, our approach combines advanced diagnostics, evidence-based therapies, and concierge-level access to restore balance and protect long-term health.

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

When the thyroid gland fails to produce enough hormone, metabolism slows and symptoms accumulate gradually. Fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, and cognitive changes are common, but the impact extends further — untreated hypothyroidism increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, infertility, and bone loss.
The most frequent cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition. Other contributors include iodine deficiency, medications, surgery, and pituitary dysfunction.

Our approach:

Comprehensive thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, free T3 when indicated)
Antibody testing to evaluate autoimmunity
Ultrasound assessment when needed
Body composition analysis (InBody 770) to measure metabolic effects
Tailored therapy including levothyroxine or T4/T3 combinations, optimized for absorption, lifestyle, and long-term outcomes

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces too much hormone, sending metabolism into overdrive. Symptoms may include rapid or irregular heartbeat, heat intolerance, unexplained weight loss, tremors, anxiety, and sleep disruption. Prolonged overactivity increases the risk of arrhythmias, heart failure, and osteoporosis.
Common causes include Graves’ disease (autoimmune), toxic nodules, and thyroiditis.

Our approach:

Full hormone panel including TSH, T3, and T4
Autoantibody testing for Graves’ disease
Ultrasound and, when indicated, radioactive iodine uptake scans
Personalized treatment: symptom control (beta-blockers), antithyroid drugs, radioiodine ablation, or surgery
Integrated monitoring of heart rhythm, bone health, and eye complications in Graves’ disease

Thyroid Nodules & Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid nodules are very common, often discovered during routine exams or imaging. While most are benign, some require close monitoring or intervention. Symptoms may include visible swelling, difficulty swallowing, or hoarseness.
Thyroid cancer, though relatively uncommon, is increasingly diagnosed and often has excellent outcomes when treated early. Papillary and follicular cancers are the most frequent types, while medullary and anaplastic variants require specialized care.

Our approach:

High-resolution ultrasound to characterize nodules
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy and molecular testing when indicated
Individualized surveillance for benign nodules
Surgical coordination and post-operative care for cancer cases
Long-term follow-up including thyroid hormone management and imaging as needed

Other Thyroid-Related Disorders

Beyond the most common thyroid conditions, Sequoia Medical 360 offers expertise in managing rarer and more complex disorders, including:

Our approach:

Subacute or Postpartum Thyroiditis – inflammatory thyroid conditions often following illness or childbirth
Toxic Adenoma – nodules that independently produce thyroid hormone
Central Hypothyroidism – pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction reducing thyroid stimulation
Thyroid Hormone Resistance & Genetic Disorders – rare conditions requiring specialized evaluation
Acute Emergencies – myxedema coma and thyroid storm, life-threatening extremes of thyroid imbalance

These conditions require nuanced evaluation and care — an area where Dr. Mathews’ training in complex endocrinology and metabolic disease provides unmatched expertise.
