Recommend a Doctor!
The only way we keep the great doctors in business and encourage more doctors to properly treat thyroid patients is to patronize and recognize those doctors who are caring, innovative, and who truly understand and effectively know how to treat thyroid patients. Nominate your doctor now, by sending us the following information: Tips On Choosing a Doctor Being listed here on the Thyroid Top Doctors List doesn't necessarily mean a doctor is for you. The doctor may be an empathetic and warm physician, but not open to working with drugs like Armour or T3 drugs. Or the doctor may be quite costly and not on insurance programs. Make sure you call ahead to find out more about the doctor's philosophy, approach, costs, and other important factors before you make an appointment. For more information, read the chapter on "How to Choose a Doctor" in the bestselling book, Living Well With Hypothyroidism.

A Top Doc for thyroid
patients -- whether hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, or facing other thyroid
problems -- is a doc who listens, cares, has an open mind, wants us to
understand and participate in our treatment decisions, and isn't beholden to a
particular drug company. They are doctors who have been freely nominated by patients, or who want to make their innovative ideas available to patients -- NOT doctors who have been paid off by pharmaceutical companies, or who pay to be listed in directories.
But above all...a Top Doc is one who signs on to our motto: We're Patients...NOT Lab Values!" Here's a compilation of patients' own
recommendations, as well as some innovative doctors who have written in, assembled by Mary Shomon.
