Douglas Politz, MD, FACS

I am grateful for the care I received from Dr. Politz for my total thyroidectomy. He was kind, reassuring, and compassionate throughout the entire process. I also had the opportunity to meet Dr. Lopez, whose bedside manner was also impeccable. What meant the most was that Dr. Politz personally called my husband to check on me once I was home from surgery, that level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. I also want to recognize his nurse, Kristin, who was amazing during my recovery and always responded to my emails quickly and thoroughly. I am feeling so much better and am truly glad I made the decision to move forward with surgery. I’m thankful to have been cared for by such an outstanding team and highly recommend Dr. Politz.

Dr Politz has got to be the kindest person in the world and the most efficient and adept surgeon in the world. He has great knowledge and experience in this area of medicine. He listened to me when no other Dr. would (and I went to 6 other doctors who didn’t know what it was)and he solved my year long suffering with hypercalcemia by doing a removal of an adenoma from one of my parathyroids. I am so grateful for Dr Politz and his staff. Everybody was wonderful and I had a great experience.

Dr Politz and his entire staff from the surgery entry desk, post and pre op team to scan personal could not have been more professional, friendly and accommodating. This is a highly skilled team and everything well orchestrated. My surgery was a success and I cannot thank them enough. I would definitely recommend Dr Politz and his team to anyone needing Parathyroid care.

Dr Politz was wonderful pre, during and post surgery. Very transparent and provided direct answers. Displayed considerable confidence. The group at TGH Outpatient center were also great. I also appreciated meeting Dr Lopez - very kind of him to stop by on the morning of surgery. Diagnosis was spot on and all went according to plan. Highly recommend.

Dr Politz is an excellent physician and surgeon. he performed my parathydoidecromy this morning and I am at home recovering now. I have very little pain, and the effects of the general anesthesia are subsiding. His entire team of nurses, OR staff, his CRNA, and the anesthesiologist, Dr. Munoz, embody compassion and professionalism. I felt calm and confident that I had chosen the best surgeon. Dr. Politz spends considerable time with each patient before the surgery, explaining everything and answering questions. He just called me tonight to make sure I was doing ok. How many surgeons give a patient their cell number? His bedside manner is superb, and his skill and experience is evidenced by his having performed over 10,000 thyroid and parathyroid surgeries. He is one of the best in the cou
