Thyroid: Ear nose throat doctors are trained in thryoid gland and thyroid surgery. Endocrinologists are trained in thyroid hormones and what affects those hormones. This involves the brain and adrenal glands. Essentially you may need both specialists. What is important is that YOU understand what each doctor says to you. Wouldn't hurt to bring a friend to help you.
