Many believe that removing the thyroid through surgery or radioactive iodine ends Hashimoto’s disease. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take an integrative approach to treating the root causes of ongoing autoimmune activity—even after the thyroid is gone.
We don’t just treat your labs—we treat you.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and, over time, reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism).
But even after the thyroid is removed, the autoimmune attack can persist, affecting other organs and systems, including the brain, skin, joints, and digestive tract.

Yes. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition. The immune system may continue attacking even after the thyroid is gone.
Hormone replacement is essential, but integrative care addresses immune triggers, gut health, and nutrient imbalances
Many patients see dramatic improvement in fatigue, mood, and metabolism when treated holistically.
It’s not considered curable—but it can go into remission with the right support and lifestyle adjustments.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
