Thyroid Surgeon in Burbank
Burbank works in production terms: schedules, call times, and problems solved before they hold up the shot. A thyroid or parathyroid finding responds well to that treatment. Dr. Jason S. Cohen, MD, FACS, a board certified surgical oncologist devoted to these operations, practices twenty five to thirty five minutes away at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers.
Solve It Before It Holds Up the Schedule
From the studio lots to Magnolia Park to the Rancho, Burbank health findings surface the usual ways: a physical for a new production, an ultrasound ordered for something else, a voice that mixing bays keep flagging. The town’s instinct, fix it properly and stay on schedule, is exactly the right one.
Barham Boulevard or Olive to the Cahuenga Pass, Highland south, Fountain west, and San Vicente down to 3rd Street covers the 91505 and 91506 in twenty five to thirty five minutes off peak. Telehealth carries the consultation, so the pass features only for the examination and the operation.
Dr. Cohen reads your imaging himself, examines you once, and delivers a schedule grade answer: what it is, what he recommends, and the dates recovery actually runs on.
Six Services, One Surgeon
Burbank patients use the full practice, well beyond thyroid care.
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 Crosses From the 91505
The mix: nodules from production physicals, thyroid cancers in working professionals, goiters that wardrobe noticed first, and parathyroid disease behind fatigue that got billed to overtime.
For editors, voice actors, and everyone whose work runs through a microphone, the surgical question is a nerve question, and it deserves continuous electronic monitoring, which is the standard in every operation here.
Your voice is on the deliverables? Say so at the consultation; the operative plan is built around protecting it. Call 310-986-3359.
Precision on a Deadline
Minimally invasive technique translates into schedule: one night or less in hospital for most operations, desk and edit bay work within days, and a return to full duties on a stated date.
Nerve monitoring runs through every case, incisions stay short inside natural creases, and robotic approaches serve suitable anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Burbank?
Twenty five to thirty five minutes over Barham or through the Cahuenga Pass, then Fountain to San Vicente and 3rd Street. Telehealth keeps most cases to two or three crossings total.
I work in audio. What happens to my voice during thyroid surgery?
The recurrent laryngeal nerves are monitored electronically through the entire operation, dissection runs under magnification, and the plan is sized to disturb as little as possible. Temporary hoarseness can occur and typically resolves; the realistic timeline is discussed before booking anything.
Can this fit a production calendar?
Yes. Consultations run by video at flexible hours, testing consolidates into one visit, and surgical dates coordinate around shoots when the medicine allows. You get a recovery timeline you can commit to a schedule.
How much time off does the operation actually cost?
Most patients spend one night or less in hospital, handle desk work within days, and resume full activity around ten days. Your written timeline is specific to your operation.
What else does Dr. Cohen operate on?
Parathyroid disease, thyroid cancers including neck dissection, breast cancer, robotic procedures, and advanced laparoscopic general surgery, as a fellowship trained surgical oncologist.
Where does surgery take place?
At Cedars-Sinai, adjacent to the office. Most thyroid and parathyroid patients cross back through the pass the next day.
