Thyroid Surgeon in Larchmont
Larchmont likes its institutions small, familiar, and excellent, the Boulevard being proof. Dr. Jason S. Cohen, MD, FACS runs his practice on the same principle: one surgeon, one specialty, thyroid and parathyroid operations done constantly and well, ten to fifteen minutes west along 3rd Street at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers.
Boulevard Values, Applied to Surgery
The neighborhood that still knows its shopkeepers understands the value of being known by its physicians. Thyroid findings here arrive the ordinary ways, an ultrasound, an annual panel, a hoarse voice that outstayed a cold, and they deserve a practice where the surgeon himself reads your imaging and remembers your case.
The trip is barely a trip: 3rd Street or Beverly Boulevard west from Larchmont Boulevard reaches the Cedars-Sinai campus in ten to fifteen minutes from the 90004. Telehealth exists for the visits that never needed a car, though at this distance most people simply drive over.
The consultation ends with a real answer: surveillance on a defined schedule when that is sound, targeted testing when the picture is incomplete, or an operation sized precisely to the finding.
Six Services From One Surgeon
Larchmont households use the full breadth of the practice.
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.
What Walks Over From the Village
The pattern: nodules found on imaging and awaiting a proper read, calcium running high through consecutive physicals, goiters that finally earned attention, and thyroid cancers that need an oncologic surgeon from the first decision.
Families here often book in pairs, a parent’s parathyroid question alongside an adult child’s nodule, and both leave with their own written plan.

Careful by Habit, Modern by Choice
Every operation runs with continuous nerve monitoring and magnification; parathyroid cases add hormone verification during surgery so the cure is confirmed before closing.
Incisions sit in natural creases and stay short, robotic and hidden incision approaches serve suitable anatomy, and healed results are shown at consultation rather than described.
Three Unhurried Steps
Records First
Imaging and labs go ahead; the consultation, in person or by video, begins with conclusions rather than paperwork.
A Plan in Plain Language
Operate, test, or monitor with dates, explained with the reasoning and repeated as often as the family needs.
Cedars-Sinai and Home
Surgery beside the office, one night or less for most, and follow up close enough to walk into or handle by video.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the office from Larchmont Village?
Ten to fifteen minutes straight west on 3rd Street or Beverly Boulevard. The Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers sit at 8635 W. 3rd Street with valet at the West Tower entrance.
Can I get in quickly once I decide to deal with a finding?
Usually within days, particularly with records sent ahead. Proximity keeps both scheduling and follow up flexible.
Is every nodule found on imaging a problem?
No, most are benign and many need only scheduled ultrasound. Surgery earns its place when biopsy results, compressive symptoms, hormone overproduction, or steady growth justify it. The consultation makes that call properly.
What does years of mildly high calcium usually mean?
Frequently primary hyperparathyroidism, one overactive gland pulling calcium from bone. It quietly erodes the skeleton and can cause kidney stones and fatigue, and a focused operation cures the great majority of cases.
Does Dr. Cohen operate beyond the thyroid?
Yes: parathyroid surgery, thyroid cancer operations with neck dissection when needed, breast cancer surgery, robotic procedures, and advanced laparoscopic general surgery.
Where does surgery happen?
At Cedars-Sinai, adjacent to the office at the west end of 3rd Street. Most patients are home near the Village the next day.
