  • Union Square Partnership
  • New York, NY
  • (October 22, 2018)

Mount Sinai Health System has announced the opening of the Mount Sinai Thyroid Center at Mount Sinai Union Square. The new facility is the first and only center in Manhattan, and in the Northeast, to offer comprehensive thyroid care in a single location. Terry Davies, MD, professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, will co-direct the Mount Sinai Thyroid Center with Maria Brito, MD, assistant professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “It is one-stop shopping, which is what we all want when we go to the doctor.  If your physician says you need to see another specialist, it’s nice if he or she is in the next room,” said Dr. Davies. The Mount Sinai Thyroid Center will lead breakthrough research in both clinical and lab settings.  Having multidisciplinary physicians in one location will help enhance the understanding of thyroid disease by conducting new clinical trials.
