5-Star Review! FULL REVIEW: "Dr. Michael Tran is phenomenal! He was actually my second opinion surgeon and he made me feel so much more comfortable about my procedure. He was very patient, explained the surgery, and all around a caring and professional surgeon. I am so glad that I chose to go with him and his course of action on my surgery. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family. The office staff was very kind and helpful and the entire experience was very pleasant (well as good as it gets when having to have a surgery at least!). 5-stars, two thumbs up, great job Mission Surgical Clinic!!"

January is National Thyroid Awareness Month. The American Thyroid Association reports, 1 in 10 people suffer from a thyroid disorder and 1 in 8 women will develop a thyroid disorder during her lifetime. What’s Thyroid disease? Thyroid disease refers to a number of conditions that affect how the gland functions. The thyroid can be either overactive or underactive and both conditions can lead to health problems. Two of the most common thyroid diseases are hyperthyroidism and h...ypothyroidism. HYPERTHYROIDISM: Also known as overactive thyroid disease, this condition occurs when your thyroid gland produces excess levels of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. Additionally, this thyroid disease can increase your body’s metabolism, causing weight loss and an irregular heartbeat. HYPOTHYROIDISM: Having an under-active thyroid is also known as hypothyroidism. Essentially, this condition occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Hypothyroidism’s deficiency of thyroid hormones can disrupt things such as heart rate, body temperature, and all aspects of metabolism. Major symptoms include fatigue, cold sensitivity, constipation, dry skin, and unexplained weight gain. THYROID CANCER: Thyroid cancer begins when the cells grow and multiply rapidly. These cells form a tumor and the abnormal cells can spread throughout the body. There are no early symptoms. However, as the cells grow, they may cause a lump in the neck, swollen lymph glands, voice changes, and difficulty swallowing. Most cases of thyroid cancer can be cured with surgery to remove most or all of the thyroid.
