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 |

Brattleboro John Glick. M.D. endocrinologist, internist 9 Belmont Avenue, Brattleboro, VT 05301 802-254-9240. This reader gushes, "John Glick is the smartest, kindest, most thorough doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I’ve been seeing him for more than 20 years because of hypothyroidism, pituitary tumor, hypopituitarism, etc., and he has taken such good care of me. I’ve been to many, many incapable, rude, and downright obnoxious doctors, and feel lucky to have found Dr. Glick. He is extremely knowledgeable about his specialty, and is a very kind man." Burlington Dr. Phil A. Aitken, M.D., F.A.C.S., Opthalmology, Orbital, Lacrimal, Oculoplastic Surgeon, 55 Timber Lane So. Burlington, VT 05403 (802) 652-0717. A reader informs us, "I was referred to Dr. Aitken just over a year ago for Grave’s ophthalmopathy. Since that time I have had orbital decompression, strabismus and lid surgery on both eyes. In addition I was treated with steroid and radiation therapy. I am thrilled to say that my vision has been restored, I can face myself in the mirror again and I am off prednisone. I doubt however that my story would have such a happy ending were it not for Dr. Aitken. Together we looked at all the alternatives - conventional and otherwise. He listened to my questions and concerns, and then provided the support and information that allowed me to make informed decisions regarding my course of treatment. With his care, concern and most importantly the time he gave me, Dr. Aitken provided me with the means to take control of my life and step off the roller coaster that Graves disease can put you on." Burlington Dr. Muriel Nathan, Endocrinologist, Fletcher Allen. 1-800-358-1144 A
reader writes: "Dr. Nathan addressed every question I had and I had
a lot and then she asked if I had any more. She was patient and kind.
She made me feel that I had some control over my medical situation-
very rare indeed. My entire experience at Fletcher Allen was as pleasant
as it could be from registration to bloodwork to my meeting with Dr.
Nathan...all surprisingly stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Nathan."
Windsor "I see that someone in Windsor, Vermont was looking for a top doc. I can heartily recommend Muriel Nathan at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington Vermont. She takes her time, listens, and offers explanations that make sense. I am what some physicians might call "difficult" because I haven't always been willing to blindly follow medical advice without doing some of my own research and trying some alternatives, and she has been very accepting and supportive." |
