About Rose Metzger and Banner Safety Practices
Specialty Focus
Endocrine Surgery
Care Philosophy
I use open and informative communication to build and foster the patient-physician relationship. My goal is to make sure each patient leaves with a better understanding of their diagnosis as well as the next best steps of care.
Specializing In
手术治疗(包括最低限度invasive and laparoscopic surgery) for disease processes related to the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands including: thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, goiter, multinodular goiter, toxic nodule, hyperthyroidism, Graves disease, hereditary thyroid cancer syndromes including Cowden Syndrome, MEN I and II, hyperparathyroidism, high calcium, kidney-related parathyroid disease, adrenal nodules, aldosteronoma, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's disease, and adrenal cancer. Additional non-surgical procedures including: ultrasound of the neck to evaluate for thyroid, parathyroid, and lymph node abnormalities, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy, and laryngoscopy.
Interests & Activities
Outside of the office I enjoy hiking and road-biking. I grew up playing the cello and continue to appreciate music in almost all forms. In addition to cooking and searching for mid-century modern treasures, I've recently taken up letterpress printing as a hobby.
