What Care Have You Received At Brookings Health System?
I have yearly ultrasounds done on my thyroid. I have nodules on them, and they have to check every year to make sure that they're not growing and monitor for that.

Dr. Charles Longo is my physician that I see for my thyroid. He's an endocrinologist in Sioux Falls. I have been very satisfied with his care as well.

He's always gotten the information easily, exactly what he needs from Brookings Health System, never had any issues, and it seems to be a seamless process.
