Simon F. Grodski is an endocrine surgeon based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. He helps people who need surgery for problems linked to hormone-producing glands, like the thyroid and parathyroid glands, and adrenal gland conditions.
In many cases, his work starts with symptoms that don’t settle, odd blood test results, or scans that show a growth or change in a gland. From there, surgery may be an option, depending on the cause and how much it’s affecting the body.
Simon looks after adults who are dealing with things such as thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, including papillary, follicular, and medullary thyroid cancer. He also treats conditions like Hashimoto thyroiditis, where the immune system attacks the thyroid, and it can lead to ongoing gland problems.
Another big part of his practice is parathyroid care. This can include a parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid cancer, and high calcium issues caused by problems with parathyroid function. At times, people are referred for parathyroidectomy, which is the surgery used to remove part or all of the parathyroid tissue.
Simon also manages adrenal gland conditions where hormones are not balanced. That includes hyperaldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, and situations linked to high potassium levels. In these cases, surgery can help bring hormone levels back toward normal, and it can ease symptoms that come from the imbalance.
He has surgical experience with a range of endocrine-related tumours too, including neuroendocrine tumours. And he may also be involved in broader non-endocrine conditions listed in his service mix, such as adrenal cancer, and specific infections or cysts like brain abscess and branchial cleft cyst.
People often come in feeling stressed and not sure what comes next. Simon focuses on making the next steps clear and grounded, so patients know what the plan is and what to expect around treatment. He works with other local health professionals to coordinate care, especially when test results and scans need to line up with the surgical decision.
Simon works in a practical way, with a calm approach to surgery and recovery. If you’re in Melbourne and you’ve been told you may need thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, or other endocrine surgery, Simon F. Grodski can help guide the process from assessment to treatment.
