September 19, 2025

The Russell Center for Endocrine Health just completed our first year as the first center in the world focused on minimally invasive treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disease!

After 10 years leading minimally invasive surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Dr Russel established the Russell Center in hopes of making minimally invasive surgery available to more people across the country. Here are 10 facts about us!

1- Dr Jon Russel has done more thyroid and parathyroid surgeries than almost any other surgeon in the United States in the last 5 years.

2- Dr Jon Russell has done more scarless thyroid surgery than any other surgeon in the United States in the last decade. To put this in perspective, he has done 2x more scarless thyroid surgery than all the surgeons in Los Angeles, New York City, and Miami PUT TOGETHER.

3- More scarless non-surgical treatments (such as RFA thyroid) than almost any other surgeon in the United States in the last 5 years

4- Dr Jon Russell is the first surgeon in the US to treat thyroid cancer via the transoral robotic thyroidectomy approach

5- Dr Russel is one of the only surgeons in the United States to discuss minimally invasive treatments with every single patient.

6- We offer all-inclusive options for medical tourists who wish to have scarless thyroid treatment at world-renowned hospitals with a dedicated personal physician.

7- After 10 years training leading surgeons from around the world, Dr Russell now completes the entire case with no trainees. If you are talking about scarless surgery in New York, LA, San Francisco, Boston, and almost any other city in the USA, the surgeon that you are talking to probably was trained by Dr Russell, went to his course, read his articles, or listened to him speak about this topic at a meeting.

8- We are the first center in the world to partner with leading dietitians to make sure that each patient has a holistic and comprehensive recovery plan.

9- Dr Russell is one of only 100 head and neck surgeons in the United States to receive recognition as an expert in treating complex thyroid and parathyroid disease by the American Board of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.

10- Dr Russell can complete your initial evaluation and treatment process as quickly as the same day, and almost always within a normal work week. Fast, convenient, and completely private, our minimally invasive techniques ensure that your thyroid or parathyroid problem is treated completely. Best of all, for those who value privacy, our scar free treatment options ensure that no one else has to know that you received treatment.

If any of these are appealing to you, we invite you to give us a call. Dr Jon Russell and the Russell Center have the most experience, let us create a personal treatment plan for you!
