I didn’t even know what a parathyroid was before meeting Dr. Eskander. And then to find out I needed surgery to have it removed? I wasn’t feeling like myself for a couple of years leading up to this point. My back ached and moving around was becoming increasingly difficult as well as a few other health issues that made me feel off. Dr Eskander assured me that the surgery was quite simple, that I would feel much better and that recovery would be quick.

He couldn’t have been more accurate. Two weeks and a very tiny incision later and I’m moving well without any back pain and feeling back to my old self. Who knew this tiny little gland could cause so many issues? So happy that I went through with this surgery and was lucky enough to have this amazing surgeon. Thank you, Dr Eskander!

Dr. Eskander is not only a brilliant surgeon but he is a lovely human being!
I had my thyroid removed last December.
I’d gladly do it all over again if I had to! And I am not kidding I barely have a scar 5 months later. It’s unreal.
His admin team is easy to work with to schedule appointments and follow ups.
Definitely take a referral for him if you can get it!

Dr. Eskander is an amazing surgeon who specializes in the treatment of rare and challenging disease.

My mom came to Dr. Eskander for a left completion thyroidectomy as a result of her right vocal cord palsy. We all were very nervous and had a lot of anxiety before the procedure. Dr. Eskander was very honest about his expectations for the surgery as well as the risks, side effects and benefits, which made us feel more at ease. Thankfully my mom's surgery went excellently with no complications and she had a fast recovery.

Dr. Eskander's skills and compassion made all the difference in my mom's life. We were blessed to have Dr. Eskander as our surgeon and would like to thank him, as well as all of the support staff, for the excellent care they provided my mom. She was in really good hands.

Amazing experience with Dr. Eskander. I had large thyroid nodules and had surgery to remove half of they thyroid. Pathologist reported I had thyroid cancer which I couldn't accept and asked for second opinion. Waited 4 months to see Dr. Eskander. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient in explaining my situation. He discussed with the pathologist who did my report and referred all abnormalities cancer! He assured that I'm fine, only need to be monitored once a year. I felt so relieved! Thank you so much

My dad recently had thyroid surgery with Dr. Eskander at Michael Garron Hospital. What an experience! We were all very nervous for the procedure and had a lot of anxiety about this day. Dr. Eskander completely eased all of our worries and made this whole experience comfortable and pleasant.

We initially met with Dr. Eskander in December to go over my dads procedure. He was very compassionate and confident from the very first visit and this set the tone for the next few months.

The day of the surgery, Dr. Eskander was very reassuring, confident, professional and caring. Immediately after surgery, Dr. Eskander called my mom personally to give us details on how the surgery went and what we can expect next.

My dad had to stay at the hospital overnight for extra precaution and Dr. Eskander came to the room directly to meet with us in person and tell us all about the procedure and how the next few days of recovery will play out. He was so friendly and made us all feel so at ease. He also went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. Before he left the room, he made sure we knew he was on call if there were any complications and said that he would see my dad in 2 weeks for a follow up appointment.

Overall, this was an extremely pleasant experience all thanks to Dr. Eskander, Jennifer, his entire team at Michael Garron Hospital, his resident doctors and his admin team. You have all been truly amazing.

My family appreciates you beyond words. Thank you so much!

Dr. Eskander and his team are amazing! I started my journey with him 2 years ago, and what started out to be very nerve wrecking for me he made me feel so much at ease with my diagnosis. I've had 2 surgeries with him, and explained the field of work I was in and he made sure my incisions were flawlessly done. He's never made me feel any less than comfortable and always is so thorough with his consults with me. I truly thank Dr. Eskander for always being so inviting and understanding. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and his patients. Also his AA Jennifer is amazing and so punctual in any form of communication and very efficient.
Thank you again for your kind care.

There's not enough space in this comment area to praise not only Dr Eskander but all of his support staff during my surgery and recovery. We are blessed to have professionals with his and their skill within our medical community. I was very pleased with his no bs approach, no sugar covering. Any and all questions were succinctly answered.
Should also note that Dr Eskander has the unique skill of putting the patient's family as ease. Trust me, this was a big plus with my wife who knew I was handled with care and respect, one less worry she had to deal with.
Thank you Dr Eskander.
