THYROID TOP DOCTORS DIRECTORY
UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONAL
A Top Doc for thyroid patients -- whether hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, or facing other thyroid problems -- is a doctor 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. Thyroid Top Doctors are endocrinologists, thyroid specialists, thyroid surgeons, thyroidologists, integrative physicians, and other practitioner who have been highly recommended by patients. These are doctors and practitioner who have been freely nominated by patients, or who want to make their innovative ideas available to patients. These are NOT doctors who have been paid off by pharmaceutical companies or who pay to be listed in directories.
Above all...a Top Thyroid Doctor is one who signs on to the motto: "We're Patients...NOT Lab Values!"
Here's a compilation of practitioners, as recommended by patients, assembled by Mary Shomon.
Note: being listed in the Top Thyroid Doctors Directory doesn't mean a doctor is the right one for you. Doctors all have different bedside manners, openness to alternatives, styles, and financial arrangements. Some doctors accept Medicare and/or insurance, some don't. Always call the doctor's office before going in for your first appointment, to find out more about the doctor's philosophy, approach, costs, and other important factors. Please let me know if you have feedback -- positive or negative -- about doctors listed here, or would like to recommend your "top" doctor.
Thanks! -- Mary

Why is a Particular Doctor No Longer Listed?
Doctors who were previously listed here are removed for a number of reasons.
* The doctor has requested that his/her listings be removed because: he/she does not agree with this site’s philosophy or patient-orientation; the practice is too busy and can’t accept new patients; the doctor does not feel comfortable handling complicated thyroid problems; the doctor did not agree with what was said in the patient recommendations; or the doctor said “take me off the list” and offered no explanation.
* The doctor has moved, retired, or died.
* The doctor has lost his/her license, or given up his/her license, and is no longer practicing medicine.
* Patients have provided negative input about the doctor that is of sufficient concern that, in the opinion of the editor, the doctor should no longer be on the Top Thyroid Doctors List.
* Thyroid Top Doctors would face legal concerns if we published specific information about why patients had negative opinions about doctors, or if we shared a doctor’s occasional ranting ”take me off” email, or if we publicized doctors with licensing problems. So please, if you see that a doctor has been taken off the list and want to know why, talk to the doctor directly. If you write to us to ask why a doctor was taken off the list, we’re sorry, but we won’t be able to answer you or share that information.
