Thyroid Surgeon in Culver City
Culver City has become a town of production schedules and product launches, and neither pauses for a thyroid finding. Dr. Jason S. Cohen, MD, FACS, a board certified surgical oncologist devoted to thyroid and parathyroid surgery, practices fifteen to twenty minutes up La Cienega at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers.
Care Calibrated to a Production Calendar
Whether you cut trailers near the studios, ship code on the west side, or have lived off Overland for thirty years, the pattern repeats: an ultrasound mentions a nodule, or a physical flags calcium, and the finding waits behind the next deadline.
The trip removes one excuse. From downtown Culver City and the arts district, La Cienega or Robertson north to 3rd Street runs fifteen to twenty minutes. From Fox Hills and the 90230 side, the same corridors apply. Telehealth removes the rest of the excuses.
Dr. Cohen reads your imaging personally, examines you, and gives a decision grade answer: operate, test further, or monitor with dates. Deadlines survive all three.
The Whole Practice, Not Just the Thyroid
Culver City patients use all six of Dr. Cohen’s service lines.
Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery
Thyroidectomy, lobectomy, and focused parathyroid operations with nerve monitoring throughout.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Small, carefully placed incisions and faster recoveries wherever the diagnosis allows.
Surgical Oncology
Fellowship trained cancer surgery, from thyroid malignancies to complex tumors.
Robotic Surgery
Da Vinci robotic technique for precision in confined anatomy, adopted early by Dr. Cohen.
Breast Cancer Surgery
Oncologic breast surgery from the former director of the Cedars-Sinai surgical oncology and breast clinic.
General Surgery
Advanced laparoscopic general surgery, handled with the same specialist standards.
Referrals From the 90232 and 90230
The caseload spans incidental nodules from imaging done for other reasons, thyroid cancers in working age adults, goiters noticed on camera before they were noticed in the mirror, and hyperparathyroidism masquerading as burnout.
That last one deserves emphasis: fatigue, fog, and aching with persistently high calcium is a surgical diagnosis with a cure rate most of medicine envies, and it hides in plain sight on annual labs.
Calcium high on your last two panels? Send the labs over before writing it off as stress. Call 310-986-3359.
Precision With a Return Date
Minimally invasive and robotic technique translates directly into schedule: one night or less in hospital for most operations, desk work within days, and a firm date for full activity.
Nerve monitoring runs in every case to protect the voice, a professional instrument for plenty of Culver City patients, and incisions are planned into natural creases and kept short.
Three Steps, Minimal Downtime
Video Consultation First
Send imaging and labs, then meet by telehealth or in person. Dr. Cohen arrives having already read your case.
Consolidated Workup
Whatever testing remains gets stacked into one visit rather than scattered across weeks of half days.
Surgery With a Known Timeline
The operation at Cedars-Sinai, twenty minutes from home, one night or less for most, and a return to work date you can give your producer or your standup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Culver City to the office?
Fifteen to twenty minutes up La Cienega or Robertson to 3rd Street. The office is in the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers at 8635 W. 3rd Street, with valet parking at the West Tower entrance.
Can I handle most of this without leaving work?
Largely yes. The initial consultation and results discussions run by telehealth, testing is consolidated, and only the examination, surgery, and first follow up require you in person.
How fast is the return to a desk or an edit bay?
Desk based work often resumes within days of thyroid or parathyroid surgery; light activity within a week and strenuous exercise around ten days are typical. You get a specific timeline for your operation.
What does an indeterminate biopsy mean for me?
It means the pathology could not settle the question, and options range from molecular testing to diagnostic lobectomy to structured monitoring. Dr. Cohen reviews the actual slides report and imaging and recommends one path with reasons.
Does Dr. Cohen handle cancer surgery?
Yes. He is a fellowship trained surgical oncologist who directed the surgical oncology and breast clinic at Cedars-Sinai; thyroid cancer surgery with neck dissection when needed, and breast cancer surgery, are central to the practice.
Which hospital would I be in, and for how long?
Cedars-Sinai, next to the office. Most thyroid and parathyroid patients stay one night or less before heading back down La Cienega.
