Thyroid Surgeon in Redondo Beach
Redondo Beach spans generations, from young families in North Redondo to longtime residents above the Esplanade, and thyroid and parathyroid problems visit all of them differently. Dr. Jason S. Cohen, MD, FACS, a board certified surgical oncologist dedicated to these operations, sees Redondo patients at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers, with telehealth minimizing the 405.
One Practice for Every Generation of the Household
In the same Redondo family, the thyroid question looks different at every age: a nodule on a young parent’s scan, a hoarse voice that outlasted a semester of coaching, a grandmother’s calcium creeping upward alongside her DEXA scores. The common denominator is that all three deserve a specialist read before anyone commits to anything.
From the Riviera, the Avenues, and North Redondo, the 405 north to the 10 east and off at La Cienega reaches the Cedars-Sinai campus in forty to fifty minutes. Records review, second opinions, and follow up run by video, so the freeway features only in the visits that need hands and instruments.
Dr. Cohen reviews the originals himself, examines you, and gives each generation the same thing: a plain recommendation with the reasoning attached, and a monitoring schedule when surgery is not the answer.
What the Practice Covers
Redondo Beach households use every side of Dr. Cohen’s work.
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 90277 and 90278
The spread: nodules needing interpretation, thyroid cancers across age groups, goiters pressing on comfort, and above all hyperparathyroidism in older residents, where high calcium, fatigue, and thinning bone get misfiled as normal aging.
That misfiling costs real years of quality. Curing an overactive parathyroid gland routinely returns energy and stops bone loss in patients who had stopped expecting either.
A parent with fatigue, bone loss, and high calcium? Bring their labs. It is one of medicine’s most fixable problems and one of its most missed. Call 310-986-3359.
Gentle Enough for Eighty, Precise Enough for Anyone
Focused parathyroid surgery through a small incision, with hormone levels verified during the operation, is well tolerated even in older patients, and most go home the same or next day.
Thyroid operations run the same standard: nerve monitoring throughout, magnification, incisions in natural creases, and robotic approaches where they genuinely help.
Simple, Whatever Your Age
Send and Speak
Imaging and labs go ahead; the consultation runs in person or by video, and adult children are welcome on the call for a parent’s case.
A Plan Everyone Understands
Operate, test, or monitor: the recommendation comes with reasons in plain language, repeated as many times as the family needs.
Surgery Close to Support
The operation at Cedars-Sinai, one night or less for most, then home to Redondo with follow up largely by video.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the trip from Redondo Beach?
Forty to fifty minutes on the 405 north to the 10 east, off at La Cienega and up to 3rd Street. Telehealth keeps most cases to two or three trips total.
Can my mother handle parathyroid surgery in her late seventies?
Usually very well. The focused operation is short, uses a small incision, and most older patients go home the same or next day. Age matters less than overall health, which the pre operative assessment covers properly.
Is it worth treating high calcium that causes no obvious symptoms?
Frequently, yes. The damage from hyperparathyroidism accrues quietly in bone and kidneys, and the fatigue it causes often gets blamed on age. Guidelines support surgery in many asymptomatic cases precisely because the fix is definitive.
Can family join the consultation remotely?
Yes. Telehealth visits accommodate adult children joining from anywhere, and in person visits welcome a second set of ears. Big decisions go better with the family aligned.
What does Dr. Cohen treat besides thyroid and parathyroid disease?
Breast cancer surgery, robotic procedures, and advanced laparoscopic general surgery, all as a fellowship trained surgical oncologist and board certified general surgeon.
Where does surgery take place?
At Cedars-Sinai, adjacent to the office. Most thyroid and parathyroid patients are back in Redondo the next day.
