Olga Sakharova, MD
Biography
Olga V. Sakharova, MD, is an endocrinologist with more than three decades of experience in clinical practice and medical education. She cares for people with thyroid diseases, including thyroid cancer, and adrenal disorders, which involve glands that produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, stress responses, and other essential functions.
Through her practice at the Yale Endocrine Neoplasia Clinic at Smilow Cancer Hospital, Dr. Sakharova collaborates extensively with endocrine surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists to precisely diagnose patients and tailor treatment plans.
“The depth of knowledge of the patient improves significantly when you discuss their case with other providers. The ability to review their radiology studies, laboratory data, and pathology together as a team is invaluable in providing exceptional care,” Dr. Sakharova says. “An appointment may seem short, but there is a lot of thoughtful, complex work involved. I review their charts before the appointment, analyze diagnostic data after, and discuss their case with colleagues individually and with the tumor board. It’s important that my diagnosis is accurate, and that we discuss treatment options in detail and align them with the patient’s preferences."
Dr. Sakharova earned her medical degree from St. Petersburg State Pavlov Medical University in Russia where she also completed an internship in internal medicine and a fellowship in endocrinology. After moving to the United States, she completed an additional internal medicine residency at the Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven, and an endocrinology fellowship at Yale School of Medicine. She currently serves as an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine.
