🔹🔹🔹 Find an RFA doctor 🔹🔹🔹 WWW.RFAMD.COM During this interview, the following topics are discussed: → Stanford University prioritizes anatomic structures, ultrasound, and how to best protect the laryngeal nerve

→ Pre-procedure ultrasound is instrumental in minimizing risk

→ Risk to the laryngeal nerve is minimal during RFA

→ Where to deliver heat is guided by ultrasound

→ If unintended consequences occurs during RFA, they are usually reversible

→ Most risk is affecting a patient’s voice

→ Technique and space — away from structures — can be controlled with extra fluid

→ Dr. Noel has conducted 80+ RFA procedures at Stanford University

→ What should every practitioner know in regard to protecting the nerves?

→ Commitment to ultrasound anatomy is critical

→ Ultrasound guided procedures

→ The Stanford RFA team for conducting a procedure is one assistant MD or Fellow, medical assistant laying out equipment and vital signs

→ Patient due diligence when selecting an RFA doctor is key: it should include vetting providers for their experience with RFA → Ask if the doctor has done RFA procedures, what’s the plan for follow up?

→ With RFA, are fewer thyroidectomies occurring?With RFA in clinic, patients now have more treatment options → “No hammers looking for nails”

→ Who is the ideal candidate for RFA?

→ Solitary, large, benign thyroid nodule is the ideal candidate → Cost is between $5000 – $10,000

→ Reduction in thyroid nodule size is up to 80%

→ RFA can be used for malignant nodules

→ Why did it take so long for the U.S. to adopt RFA?

FDA processes are laborious and time consuming

→ Is RFA painful? Generally “no”

→ RFA fills a void in treatment options for thyroid nodule

→ Preservation of thyroid function is key — the thyroid is preserved

→ Does insurance cover RFA treatment?

→ Sometimes the insurance company will cover the procedure through an appeal process

✅ ABOUT Philip James I shared my story with many of you on my podcast: Doctor Thyroid www.docthyroid.com

In 2013, my laryngeal nerve was severed, shoulder nerve damaged, parathyroids ruined, and residual cancer left behind — all for a 1 cm thyroid nodule.

Later, a vocal cord implant was inserted to help me speak. The bad result of thyroid surgery dampened my quality of life → and left me wondering, what exactly happened → during what should be a low-risk surgery?

My attempts to follow up with UCLA and the surgeon were ignored. So, I turned to other doctors for answers — this was the beginning of the podcast: “Doctor Thyroid with Philip James” 100+ episodes later, the Doctor Thyroid podcast is popular amongst patients; allowing them access to information from top doctors, without being limited by geography or economics.

The word I use to describe my work as patient advocate is, ‘tonglen’. Or, using my pain and hardship to help others.

When not producing podcast episodes or co-hosting live Q&As for patients with top doctors, I lead the creative team at Philip James Media — we are a marketing agency dedicated to digital communications — serving the sectors of healthcare, payments, and Greentech.

The Doctor Thyroid podcast is available in Spanish and English – and listened to in over 30 countries: www.doctiroides.com (Spanish) www.docthyroid.com (English)
