The thyroid is the source of our energy, metabolism and even mental health.
The Advanced Institute stands at the forefront of comprehensive thyroid care and state-of-the-art non-surgical treatments for thyroid nodules using Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA).
Dr. VanDyke was an early adopter of RFA in the United States and believes that natural thyroid function should be preserved whenever possible.
Thyroid conditions we treat:
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (low functioning thyroid)
- Graves’ Disease (hyperfunctioning thyroid)
- Toxic and nontoxic thyroid nodules
- Thyroid cancers
- Other types of thyroiditis
- medication - or surgery-related thyroid problems
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of thyroid nodules
A Pioneer in RFA
RFA was approved in 2018 and Dr. VanDyke was the first endocrinologist to perform this procedure in the DFW metroplex, treating thyroid nodules since 2021.
RFA is popular among patients who want to avoid surgery or radioactive iodine and save their thyroid function.
It is safe, effective and less expensive than surgery.
Nodules can be reduced by up to 80% with one treatment!

How it works:
RFA is performed in-office with local anesthesia.
That means no surgical scar.
The V1000 RF Ablation System applies dense vibrating energy to the thyroid nodule that effectively destroys nodule tissue without injuring the healthy outer thyroid tissue.
The benefits are the elimination of the symptoms from the very large nodule and preservation of thyroid function without a surgical neck scar. Most patients when given the option prefer not having a neck scar or possibly require medication for life following surgery.
Because RFA is done in the clinic, patients experience no down time from work or home duties, while preserving the rest of their normal tissue.
With Radiofrequency technique, the functioning thyroid lobe is preserved, the thyroid nodule shrinks in size, and over a few months most symptoms and visible neck lumps are relieved.
