What doctors are saying about SYT

“One of the biggest benefits of social media in healthcare is information dissemination…it serves as an important medium for patients to share information with each other. In the United States, social media platforms have played a crucial role in disseminating information about and increasing awareness of these ablation techniques. In particular, a Facebook group … run by Jennifer Holkem, has served both as a support group and valuable resource for patients seeking alternative non-surgical treatments for the management of their thyroid nodules. Ms. Holkem also hosts a YouTube channel featuring patient testimonials and interviews with physicians performing RFA. Her work has been a critical driver in accelerating the recognition of RFA in the United States.”

–Dr. Jennifer Kuo, Columbia University
