How Does Ultrasound Make a Biopsy More Accurate? 🔍

Accuracy matters when performing a biopsy, especially for small or hard-to-locate nodules. That’s why Dr. Nadelman uses ultrasound guidance during every Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) procedure.\

Ultrasound allows precise visualization of the nodule or lymph node in real time. This ensures the biopsy needle reaches the correct location on the first attempt, avoiding surrounding structures and increasing the diagnostic yield. It also helps identify features like calcifications or irregular borders.

At Dr. Nadelman’s clinic, patients benefit from this precision combined with on-site slide preparation and immediate cytologic review, resulting in fewer inconclusive samples, fewer repeat procedures, and faster diagnoses.

Not Every Thyroid Nodule Needs a Biopsy 💉 Learn what Dr. Nadelman evaluates before recommending Fine Needle Aspiration and why expert assessment matters.

Thyroid nodules are often discovered during imaging or routine exams, and while they’re common, not all require biopsy. At Dr. Nadelman’s clinic, each case is evaluated carefully using ultrasound imaging, risk factors, and nodule characteristics to determine whether Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is appropriate.

A biopsy may be recommended when a nodule:

• Measures 1 cm or more with suspicious features
• Appears solid, irregular, or has internal calcifications
• Is associated with hoarseness, pressure, or difficulty swallowing
• Has grown over time or shows changes on follow-up imaging
• Appears concerning in a patient with a history of thyroid cancer or radiation exposure

Dr. Nadelman uses ultrasound guidance during the consultation to assess these factors and, if needed, perform the biopsy in the same visit. With on-site slide preparation and expert cytologic review, most patients receive a preliminary diagnosis within 12 to 24 hours.

If a thyroid nodule has been found, schedule a consultation for a focused evaluation and answers you can act on quickly ☎️

Why Your FNA Biopsy May Cost Thousands More at a Hospital vs a Private Practice 💉

When you need a biopsy, two things should be top priorities: getting an accurate diagnosis and receiving results quickly. Unfortunately, patients are often blindsided by another factor that can be just as stressful, the cost.

The truth is that where you choose to have your Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) biopsy performed can make a dramatic difference in both your expenses and your overall experience. Large hospital systems such as UCLA and Cedars Sinai are known for charging significantly more than private practices for the exact same procedure. This is not due to better equipment or more specialized expertise. In most cases, the difference comes down to how they bill, the number of separate charges they apply, and the negotiating power they have with insurance companies.

At Dr. Celina Nadelman's Beverly Hills practice, patients benefit from a model that is transparent, streamlined, and patient-focused. Everything is handled under one roof, by one expert, with one bill. This approach reduces cost, minimizes delays, and ensures you get the answers you need when you need them most.

Thyroid Nodule Found? Here’s What to Know Before You Panic 📚

Thyroid nodules are extremely common. In fact, many are discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated concerns. While most are benign and don’t require surgical treatment, it’s important to determine whether a nodule is suspicious or safe to monitor.

Dr. Nadelman offers targeted, ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) to evaluate thyroid nodules quickly and accurately. Every step, from ultrasound to biopsy to diagnosis, is handled in one visit, by a board-certified cytopathologist.

If an FNA is recommended, Dr. Nadelman performs the procedure using precision ultrasound guidance, with no incision, no stitches, and no need for multiple referrals. Most patients receive a preliminary diagnosis within 24 hours.

For patients and referring physicians, this means less waiting and more confidence in the next steps.

One Specialist. One Visit. No Uncertainty. Why having your biopsy and interpretation handled by the same physician matters more than most patients realize 🔬

In most healthcare settings, a biopsy is performed by one specialist, then sent to a lab to be reviewed by someone the patient never meets. That gap in communication can lead to delays, repeat procedures, or even misdiagnosis.

At Dr. Nadelman’s clinic, patients receive care from a board-certified cytopathologist who performs the biopsy and evaluates the slides personally. This direct model ensures:

• Immediate access to both clinical and cellular information
• Fewer chances of sample mislabeling or loss
• Better diagnostic accuracy and consistency
•Real-time adjustments during the procedure, if needed
• Faster turnaround, often within 12 to 24 hours

When one highly trained physician oversees every step, patients benefit from faster answers and fewer unknowns. It’s a level of continuity that’s rare in today’s healthcare system, and it makes all the difference in patient outcomes and peace of mind.
