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:
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:
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.
