Thyroid Surgeon in San Marino
San Marino applies a single standard to everything from its schools to its gardens: the best available, chosen quietly. For thyroid and parathyroid surgery, that choice points west. Dr. Jason S. Cohen, MD, FACS, a board certified surgical oncologist devoted to these operations, practices thirty five to forty five minutes away at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers.
A Huntington Standard for the Neck
Households near the Huntington and along the wide streets off Huntington Drive tend to research physicians the way they research schools: credentials verified, referrals consulted, decision made once. A practice devoted entirely to two glands, anchored by a Cedars-Sinai surgical oncology fellowship, survives that scrutiny.
The trip runs west on familiar roads: Huntington Drive to the 110 south, then the 10 west, exiting Robertson north to 3rd Street, thirty five to forty five minutes from the 91108 outside rush hour. Telehealth handles the reviews and follow up in between.
Dr. Cohen reads the imaging himself, examines you once, and delivers the recommendation with its reasoning, in the unhurried register these decisions deserve.
The Full Practice
San Marino families engage 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.
What Comes West From the 91108
The pattern: nodules found on thorough annual imaging, calcium elevated through years of well kept records, goiters that finally warrant more than patience, and thyroid cancers deserving an oncologic surgeon from the first move.
Multigenerational cases are the norm rather than the exception, and the practice handles both ends of them: the grandmother’s parathyroid cure and the daughter’s nodule surveillance, each documented for the family record.
Decades of meticulous labs showing the same high calcium? That archive is diagnostic gold; bring it. Call 310-986-3359.
Standards That Survive Scrutiny
Continuous nerve monitoring in every operation, magnified dissection, robotic technique where anatomy favors it, and hormone verification during parathyroid surgery: the methods are current and the reasoning is shown.
Operations stay as small as the disease permits, incisions sit in natural creases, and healed results are shown at consultation.
A Composed Sequence
Records Reviewed First
Imaging and labs travel ahead; the consultation, by video or in person, opens with conclusions.
One Trip for the Hands On Work
Examination and any remaining testing consolidate into a single drive west.
Surgery and a Quiet Return
The operation at Cedars-Sinai, one night or less for most, then home with follow up largely by video.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from San Marino?
Thirty five to forty five minutes: Huntington Drive to the 110, then the 10 west, exiting Robertson north to 3rd Street. Telehealth keeps most cases to two or three trips.
Can consultations be arranged discreetly?
Yes. Records review by video, unhurried in person visits, and follow up from home are all standard, and the office coordinates directly with your existing physicians.
Is surgery advisable for an older parent with hyperparathyroidism?
Frequently, yes. The focused operation is brief and well tolerated, most older patients go home the same or next day, and curing the gland halts the bone loss and fatigue attributed to age.
What if the recommendation elsewhere was total thyroidectomy?
Then a second read is worth one visit. For many cancers and most benign disease, lobectomy is oncologically sound and avoids lifelong hormone replacement. Whether that applies to your case is precisely what the review determines.
What does the practice cover beyond these glands?
Breast cancer surgery, robotic procedures, and advanced laparoscopic general surgery, from a fellowship trained surgical oncologist and board certified general surgeon.
Where is surgery performed?
At Cedars-Sinai, adjacent to the office. Most thyroid and parathyroid patients return to San Marino the following day.
