Thyroid Disorder
Understanding Thyroid Disorders
The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that controls how your body uses energy. It regulates metabolism, heart rate, and many essential body functions through hormone production.
When this gland becomes overactive or underactive, it can lead to a range of health concerns known as thyroid disorders.
At Garg Family Clinic, we provide accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to restore hormone balance and improve overall well-being.
Common Thyroid Conditions

- Hyperthyroidism: Excess hormone production causing weight loss, anxiety, and rapid heartbeat
