What doctor does a thyroid biopsy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Endo or radiologist: Thyroid fine needle aspirations are often done by endocrinologists who can do diagnostic ultrasounds and biopsies in the office; if this capability is not available, the patient can be referred for the biopsy to be done by a radiologist.

Thyroid biopsy: Most commonly an endocrinologist. Sometimes a head and neck surgeon. Invasive radiologists also perform this procedure.
