NEW MEXICO :
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

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.

Ralph J. Luciani D.O., M.S., PhD., M.D.(H) 10601 Lomas NE
Albuquerque NM 87112 505-298-5995 http://www.abqclinic.com/. A reader writes, "He listens. He also
treats subclinical hypothyroidism by your basal temperature. He is open-minded, if one type of thyroid
hormone doesn’t work hell use another, including Armour thyroid hormone."
Another reader recommends Dr. Luciani
"Go to his website and scroll down to "click here for more on these topics" and click on
"hypothyroidism." There you will see an article written by Dr. Luciani which details his approach to
thyroid disease. Take note of how he says TSH testing is misleading, especially once a patient is on
exogenous (oral) thyroid medication. Also notice that Dr. Luciani fully understands you can have
completely normal T3, T4, and TSH lab results, and yet still be completely hypothyroid. Dr. Luciani
treats the PATIENT, not her lab tests. Dr. Luciani also prefers to use Armour thyroid as opposed to
synthetic levothyroxine. In addition, Dr. Luciani recognizes that toxins can prevent thyroid hormone from
reaching the cells, leavint the patient with many hypo symptoms even if she has normal labwork. Dr.
Luciani focuses on your symptoms, NOT your labwork." (Added 6/03)
