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.

"He is a holistic physician with both traditional and alternative medical
training. He is board certified in anesthesiology with additional training
in acupuncture, osteopathy, and nutritional medicine. He has extensively
studied endocrine disorders, especially thyroid and adrenal. He works
holistically to get the body into right balance. He's meticulous and

him. He has managed to get my hyperthyroidism to normal w/o surgery
or RAI." (added 1/04)

" He is caring, knowledgeable, and is in a group integrated medicine
clinic." (added 1/04)
Note: Visits to this doctor may be very expensive, so check in advance what the costs will be. Also, be advised that this doctor's treatments often rely heavily on recommendations for costly private-label supplements that are sold only by his practice. Consider whether you can get same or similar supplements for less at other outlets. (December 2006)

Yasser H. Ousman, Endocrinologist, Other, Washington Hospital Center -
Ambulatory Care Center - SubSpecialty Practice
110 Irving Street, NW Room 1A50, Washington, DC 20010, 202-877-0333, www.whcenter,org / Yasser.H.Ousman@medstar.net
"I was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma - tall cell variant - in Sept 2004. Dr. Lisa Boyle performed a total thyroidectomy at Washington Hospital Center. Widely known as one of the best thyroid surgeons, I heeded Dr. Boyle's advice to continue my care with the Endocrine team at WHC because of my cancer variant. I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Ousman as my endocrinologist. He not only concerns himself with my cancer issue, but with my overall wellness. Dr. Ousman takes time to listen to any concerns I have, regardless of how large or small they may be. He will ask me how I feel, and then simply listen when I explain that I may not feel the way I used to, or that I've gained some weight. He gladly listens as I describe how my body and stamina has changed since surgery, and then he answer my concerns with explanations of how my body reacts to the different things it has been through - surgery, RAI treatment, hormone replacement, etc. Dr. Ousman has even even helped me find additional medical help (outside of his expertise) in order to achieve total overall wellness. I feel as if he's not only my doctor, but he's someone I know I can trust and turn to when I need help." (May 2008)
Another fan:
"I love Dr. Ousman, he listens to what ails you
and makes you feel like you are his only patient. I never feel like I am being rushed out." (July 2008)

"Had total thyroidectomy, non-cancerous, substernal goiter, thyroid was strangling my esophagus and trachea and vocal chords/nerves were entangled ...Dr. Knoll skillfully removed my extremely over-grown gland during a delicate 4-hour procedure and I was up talking hours after surgery...I feel 100% better and I credit his surgical skill solely."
