Biographical summary
Dr. Dy is an endocrine surgeon and Professor of Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. His clinical focuses include:
    - Hyperparathyroidism
- Thyroid cancer
- Adrenal disease
Through his research, Dr. Dy hopes to create novel approaches to treat diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands.
