Thank you Dr. Mitchell for the successful surgery, healing me of parathyroid disease in 2018. I'm doing great!!! I am so grateful to God and to you and to the Norman Parathyroid Center.

I had parathyroid surgery there in September. I'm doing great and it was a great experience. Dr. Parrack did my surgery.

Hi Dr.!
I’ve had 2 Parathyroid surgeries about 10 years apart. My last surgery was last November.
I’m now down to one gland.
My question is, do you recommend yearly testing for our other family members?
My sister and Mother were diagnosed in the last year and have both had surgery and seem to be doing well.

My surgeon removed 2 glands put couldn’t find 1. I continue to get blood work and have had the pth at 50 on one of the labs although the calcium was below 10. Should I continue with labs or what do you recommend?
