Featured Procedures
Dr. Puri specializes in thyroid care. Thyroid diseases are very common, affecting millions of Americans. The most common thyroid problems are:
- Hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland)
- Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland)
- Thyroid enlargement
- Thyroid malignancy, caused by radiation therapy or family history
Thyroid problems can be treated with hormone replacement pills, medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery. Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) is an operation to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. It is performed in the hospital, and general anesthesia is usually required. Typically, the operation removes the lobe of the thyroid gland containing the lump and possibly the isthmus. A frozen section (immediate microscopic reading) may be used to determine if the rest of the thyroid gland should be removed during the same surgery.
Dr. Puri sees patients in CEENTA's Blakeney office.

Testimonials
Drew, now 11, and Dylan, now 7, are healthy and happy boys! We are so grateful for CEENTA and
Dr. Puri for the care and surgeries performed for both of these boys in 2011! Drew had his
tonsils and adenoids out, while Dylan had a set of
tubes put in.

My son’s doctor first referred us to a speech therapist, who wanted to do therapy. We then took him to
Dr. Puri, who was very matter-of-fact and said
ear tubes were all he would need.
- Kelly R.
I had a
deviated septum that was completely blocking my left nostril. I had it straightened out and I feel so wonderful now.
Dr. Puri was just as good with me as he was with my granddaughter.
