Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2024
I have access to many top-notch hospitals in my local community. Despite this, I traveled across the state to receive care from Dr. Lopez and Dr. Politz at Tampa General Hospital. Finding two highly skilled parathyroid surgeons with extensive experience in the most complicated cases, including reoperations, was extremely reassuring. In the year leading up to the surgery, my health was declining. I had extensive bone pain, fatigue, and brain fog limiting my ability to work as a registered nurse. Right before the surgery, I was also diagnosed with osteoporosis. He suggested a surgical procedure that evaluated all four parathyroid glands to make sure no tumors remained. After the surgery, I gradually started to feel better, and the symptoms completely resolved. My recovery period was quick and relatively pain-free. I felt well enough to go out for dinner the following day. I regained my full and active life. Thank you, Dr. Lopez and Dr. Politz! I am forever grateful.
