Hi dear volunteer mentor : I’m a physician rheumatologist from Miami Florida diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism, I’m looking for a surgeon with the most experience in this surgery . Could you provide me with the information as to how many parathyroidectomies have each doctor: Dr Dy, dr Leyden and Dr McKenzie performed? I would really appreciate that information. Thanking you very much in advance. Julia.

I can understand you are wanting to know all about a surgeon, however, I do not have that kind of information.
I would suggest that you call Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and ask that question.
Will you post again and let me know how you are doing in your search for a surgeon?

Dr. Benzon Dy has only been at Mayo about 1.5 years. He did his residency and fellowship there and trained under a top surgeon, Dr. Thompson, at Mayo. He then had a practice out east. He was fairly new to Mayo when he was assigned to do my surgery and I was pretty nervous about it as I also wanted a very experienced surgeon. My endo at Mayo was Dr. Bart Clarke and he highly recommended him. He said that Dr. Thompson would be retiring and Dr. Dy was chosen to be his replacement due to the quality of work he did when he was doing his fellowship. The good thing about Mayo is the team approach and they truly will choose the best surgeon for your case. I would recommend Dr. Clarke if you are looking for an Endo. He's in his 60s and very experienced. Both drs had a great bedside manner and I had total trust in them.
