THYROID TOP DOCTORS DIRECTORY The following listing includes recommended doctors and practitioners for your thyroid care. Please note that being listed here in the Thyroid Top Doctors Directory doesn't necessarily mean a doctor is the right one for you. The doctor may be an empathetic and warm physician, but not open to working with drugs like Armour or T3 drugs. The doctor may be brilliant and innovative, but have a terrible bedside manner. Or the doctor may be quite costly and not on insurance programs. Always call the doctor's office ahead of time to find out more about the doctor's philosophy, approach, costs, and other important factors before going in for your first appointment. 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 |

A reader writes: "After years of "normal" thyroid tests, I saw Dr.Basaria. He did an examination and was able to feel a 1.4 cm nodule that turned out to be papillary thyroid carcinoma. Dr. Basaria was very proactive about putting me in touch with professionals he trusted, from the Dr. who performed the biopsy, to the surgeon who performed my thyroidectomy. Dr. Basaria moved my treatment along and just 2 months later I am cancer free. Dr. Basaria is very thorough and has wonderful bedside manner. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!"

A reader writes: "In 2001 I was diagnosed w/ hypothyroid disease. My GP referred me to 2 of the doctors on this list, but neither would LISTEN to my symptoms - they just wanted to prescribe Synthroid and collect the insurance payment... I suffered for almost 4 years on Synthroid - and then found Dr Sindler. After LISTENING to my history and symptoms and concerns, he switched me to Armour. In the past 8 months, my health has improved, my energy levels are back and I no longer get thru every day barely functioning. I credit Dr Sindler AND Armour with giving me back my life."
