Thyroid disorders affect 1 in 8 women and are among the most underdiagnosed conditions in Lebanon. Dr. Marie Noelle Kallas Chemaly is a board-certified endocrinologist with an MD from Université Saint-Joseph, a DFMS from Université Paris Cité, and a PhD in endocrine research. She offers comprehensive thyroid evaluation — not just TSH — connecting symptoms, antibodies, ultrasound, and clinical presentation for an accurate diagnosis.
Ultrasound-guided assessment including fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA). Dr. Kallas evaluates nodule characteristics, determines cancer risk using the TIRADS classification, and provides a clear treatment plan.
Comprehensive management of underactive thyroid with medication optimization and ongoing monitoring. Many patients are undertreated on TSH alone — Dr. Kallas monitors free T3, free T4, and antibodies for a complete picture.
Diagnosis and treatment of overactive thyroid including Graves' disease, toxic nodular goiter, and thyroiditis. Medication management with long-term follow-up to prevent relapse.
Full autoimmune thyroid panel including TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies. Management goes beyond hormone replacement to address the autoimmune component, inflammation, and associated conditions.
Post-surgical monitoring, thyroglobulin surveillance, and long-term care for patients with a history of papillary, follicular, or medullary thyroid cancer.
Evaluation and treatment of enlarged thyroid gland. Determining the cause — iodine deficiency, autoimmune disease, or nodular disease — before recommending medication or referral for surgery.
A thyroid specialist (endocrinologist) diagnoses and treats all thyroid conditions: hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroid cancer. Dr. Kallas provides comprehensive thyroid care at 4 locations across Mount Lebanon.
Common signs include unexplained fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, feeling cold or hot, brain fog, irregular periods, and mood changes. A full thyroid panel — not just TSH — can reveal conditions that basic blood tests miss.

Hypothyroidism means your thyroid is underactive. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid and is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Hashimoto's requires monitoring of thyroid antibodies in addition to hormone levels.
