When To See A Specialist?

Thyroid issues are relatively common in New Zealand, but the management of these can be complex, especially when dealing with nodules. If you're experiencing signs that don't seem to go away, a specialist consultation may be needed.

You should consider visiting our clinic if you notice:

  • A lump or swelling at the front of your neck

  • Ongoing hoarseness or voice changes
  • Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of pressure in your throat
  • Visible enlargement of the thyroid (goitre)
  • A family history of thyroid disease or thyroid cancer
These symptoms could be linked to thyroid nodules, goitre, or other gland-related conditions. Early diagnosis gives you peace of mind and clarity on the treatment if necessary.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions and answers

Yes, we usually require a referral from your GP or another healthcare provider. This ensures we have access to your medical history and any previous blood test or scan results that may help us assess your thyroid condition more accurately.

Your first visit will typically include a review of your symptoms, a physical exam of your neck, and a discussion of any recent blood tests or imaging. We may recommend further ultrasound scans or biopsies depending on what we find. The goal is to determine the most appropriate course of action as clearly and quickly as possible.

Not always. The majority of thyroid nodule issues do not need surgery. Thyroid surgery is usually considered if you have a large goitre, suspicious thyroid nodules, confirmed thyroid cancer, or symptoms that cannot be managed through other treatments. We'll talk through all options with you so you can make an informed decision.

Thyroid surgery is generally safe, but like all operations, it carries some risks. These may include temporary voice changes, bleeding, or low calcium levels after surgery. Our team will explain all possible risks and answer any concerns you may have before proceeding.

Yes, most private health insurance plans in New Zealand cover specialist consultations, imaging, and thyroid surgery in NZ. If you're unsure about coverage, we recommend checking with your provider. Our team can also help you understand what’s involved and guide you through the process.

You should see a thyroid specialist if your thyroid looks enlarged, you feel a new neck lump, or you notice ongoing voice changes or swallowing discomfort.

Thyroid nodules are small growths or lumps within the thyroid gland, and many are harmless. Further testing usually follows an ultrasound, and nodules with suspicious ultrasound features or those above certain size thresholds often need a fine needle biopsy (FNA).

A thyroidectomy is a surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. It is recommended for large goitres, suspicious nodules, confirmed cancer, or symptoms that are not controlled with other treatment.

Common concerns include a neck lump, ongoing hoarseness, and trouble swallowing. People also look for pressure in the throat or visible thyroid enlargement. 

Thyroid concerns often start with a GP for initial testing and referral. A thyroid surgeon assesses cases where nodules, goitre, or cancer risk require specialist evaluation. 

Consultation fees vary depending on the assessment required and whether insurance applies. Please contact the clinic for current pricing.
