The initial consultation with Dr. Kalinkova includes a thorough interview and examination, review of medical documentation (such as previous test results, discharge summaries, and other records), and additional tests if needed. The approach is individualized and tailored to each patient's specific needs.
During the initial consultation, a neck ultrasound may be performed. This is an imaging examination that is part of the consultation.
An ultrasound device is used to examine the structure of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, lymph nodes, and other structures in the neck region.
The examination is performed in cases of thyroid disorders—such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid nodules, and inflammatory conditions.
