About

Dr. Martha A. Zeiger is a pioneering endocrine surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the management of thyroid and parathyroid disorders. Her key research areas include the surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism, thyroid cancer molecular diagnostics, and the optimization of minimally invasive endocrine surgery. Dr. Zeiger is best known for her seminal contributions to parathyroid surgery, where her 2011 paper on surgical treatment protocols (with 33 citations) established evidence-based guidelines that improved cure rates and reduced complications. She has also advanced the field through her leadership in developing molecular markers for thyroid nodule risk stratification, enabling more precise surgical decision-making. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications and numerous book chapters, her work has garnered widespread recognition, including her service as President of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons. Dr. Zeiger’s impact is evident in the thousands of surgeons she has trained and the countless patients who have benefited from her standardized, patient-centered approaches to endocrine surgery.
