Thyroid Issues
Diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment for thyroid conditions.

Understanding and Managing Thyroid Health
The thyroid is a small gland with a big impact. When it’s not working properly, it can affect your energy levels, mood, weight, metabolism, and more. At Mesa Family Physicians, we help patients identify and manage thyroid conditions with personalized care and ongoing support.
We offer comprehensive evaluations and long-term management strategies to help you feel your best.
We treat and monitor:
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Graves’ disease
Thyroid nodules or goiter
Irregular TSH or T4 lab results
Common Signs of a Thyroid Imbalance
Thyroid problems can be subtle or mimic other conditions, which is why proper testing is key. Symptoms may vary depending on whether thyroid hormone levels are too high or too low.
✔ Fatigue or low energy – Feeling unusually tired even with adequate rest
✔ Unexplained weight gain or loss – Changes in weight not related to diet or exercise
✔ Cold or heat sensitivity – Feeling too cold or overheated compared to others
✔ Hair thinning or dry skin – Noticeable texture changes or increased hair loss
✔ Irregular menstrual cycles – Changes in timing, flow, or frequency
✔ Mood changes, anxiety, or depression – Emotional shifts that feel out of character
✔ Heart palpitations or slow heart rate – Unusual heartbeat sensations or changes in rhythm
We adjust your plan as needed to help you meet your targets without unnecessary medications.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Accurate Testing and Long-Term Monitoring
During your visit, we’ll go over your symptoms, medical history, and any risk factors that could affect thyroid function. We’ll order key lab tests like TSH and Free T4 to get a clear picture of how your thyroid is working.
If we confirm a thyroid disorder, we’ll explain the results in simple terms and outline your treatment options, which may include daily hormone replacement, medication to reduce overactivity, or imaging studies if nodules are present. From there, we’ll monitor your labs and symptoms regularly to make sure your treatment stays effective and you continue feeling well over time.
When to Seek a Doctor About Thyroid Issues
Early Diagnosis Can Prevent Bigger Health Problems
You should schedule a visit if:
You’re experiencing symptoms – Fatigue, weight changes, or mood shifts may signal a thyroid issue.
You have a family history – Thyroid or autoimmune conditions can increase your risk.
You’ve had abnormal levels – Regular testing helps track your thyroid function.
You’re pregnant or planning pregnancy – Thyroid health is important before and during pregnancy.
You’ve noticed a neck lump or hoarseness – Could indicate a thyroid nodule.
You’re on thyroid medication – Ongoing labs ensure proper dosage and control.
Consistent monitoring and expert management can help prevent complications and keep your hormones balanced.
