Get the treatment you want, with the team that you dream of.

You deserve to hear all of the options from the person who developed them.

Dr Jon Russell led the Johns Hopkins Thyroid Tumor Center in Baltimore, MD and was one of the busiest thyroid and parathyroid surgeons in the United States. During that time, he treated the most aggressive thyroid cancers, trained young surgeons, perfected remote access "scarless" transoral thyroid surgery, led clinical trials of non-surgical therapies such as RFA, lectured internationally, and wrote hundreds of books, chapters, and scientific papers. Since leaving academic surgery, he has continued to focus on improving patient safety and outcomes - while also improving the patient experience.

At the Russell Center, we offer ThyroplasticsTM techniques that are so advanced that surgeons from around the world travel to learn them. Our unique approaches focus on safer surgery while optimizing the healthcare privacy and cosmesis.

Many surgeons can do thyroid or parathyroid surgery, but choosing your surgeon comes with a cost: A less experienced surgeon is more likely to affect your voice, permanently alter your electrolytes, or even permanently affect your hormones. Almost no surgeons will give you a scarless surgical option or discuss nonsurgical therapies that shrink your thyroid. And finally, even the most experienced surgeons won't discuss treatments that combine plastic surgery and thyroid/parathyroid surgery. At the Russell Center, we don't just mention them, we evaluate the possible benefits in YOUR case, designing a treatment that is perfect for you and your priorities.

Dr Russell has trained surgeons from around the world, including top US institutions such as Stanford, NYU, MDAnderson, Harvard, and Clayman. You could choose to go anywhere, but when you want personalized care from the person who developed these safer and more advanced techniques, you choose Dr Jon Russell and the Russell Center.
