Went to her for my hemithyroidectomy, and had the most smooth and reassuring experience. She was extremely knowledgeable, took the time to explain the nuances of my genotype results, described the procedure and associated risks clearly, and was reassuring throughout the consultation and procedure. I never felt rushed in our conversations. The operation was seamless and the resulting incision was thoughtfully placed and low-profile, and the results of pathology were communicated in a timely and comforting way. Hard to imagine how it could have gone better! I recommend her highly.

Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. She also doesn’t seem to have the respect of hospital staff, from my view.

Dr. Parangi saw the serious side effects of my high calcium levels from a parathyroid. I was impressed that after scheduling my surgery she tracked down my lab results and nuclear medicine imaging and called me while I was on the road home to give my procedure emergency priority. Very sharp doctor.

I met Dr. Parangi 5 years ago when I was 2 months pregnant and diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She was very caring, very thorough and instilled complete confidence that I was in good hands. The surgery went extremely well. I still see her once a year for follow-up and actually look forward to it.

My wife and I were referred to Dr. Parangi after our daughter was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 21. Tough news. Our experience with Dr. Parangi could not have been better and she clearly lengthened our daughter's life. Thank you again.
