Patient Testimonials
A huge thank you to the Clayman Thyroid Center's doctors and staff. I had my surgery two days ago and I'm already feeling brand new! I was extremely nervous but the doctors made my experience the most comfortable and relaxed situation I could've imaged. I am forever grateful for this amazing group- they deserve more than five stars. They saved my life!
50-year-old female from Austin, Texas with thyroid cancer
Terrified, worried, and overwhelmed with shock at my cancer diagnosis, I surfed the internet found the Clayman Thyroid Center. I am now 5 weeks post-op and I can hardly see my scar. My voice is clear and I have no nerve problems like some do after thyroid surgery. With this team, I am not at all worried that I have any cancer left inside of me. I know they got it all out.
35-year-old female from Shreveport, Louisiana with thyroid cancer
I am writing to show my appreciation and let others suffering with thyroid cancer know that they will find the best care possible at the Clayman Thyroid Center. I am four days post-op and have virtually no pain. Having a knowledgeable thyroid pathologist and radiologist on site gave me additional assurance in the treatment I received.
