Another fan:
"Dr. Levin has to be the best doctor I think I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot, trying to find a
professional that was willing to work with Hashimotos and a TSH level "within normal range". I was
very symptomatic (weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, etc.). All my symptoms were ignored by other
practitioners. I was even having blackout spells when I became menopausal at dinner parties (no, only
one alcoholic drink and moderate eating). I researched bioidentical hormones and found it difficult to find
a doctor willing to work with someone on this particular medication, but had to when the lowest dose
estrogen birth control pill gave me a dangerous blood clot. Dr. Levin works with bioidentical hormones,
and treats his patients with an emphasis on bioidentical medicines/products. He works out of his home,
which is located just outside Middleburg, VA. He treats his patients with respect, treats people for
adrenal stress, spends as much time as is necessary with you, and really listens. I felt that he was the
ideal doctor, and I highly recommend him!"

Donna Hurlock, M.D, 205 S. Whiting St. Suite 303, Alexandria, VA 22304 Phone 703-823-1533 Fax: 703-823-5873
Dr. Hurlock writes: "I've been treating hypothyroidism clinically for about 10 years and during that time have treated thousands of patients, many of whom have been suffering for years and even decades. My general approach is to treat the patient until they are well. Seems simple, but the standard approach only treats until the lab test is ôwellö. I use clinical signs and symptoms to guide therapy. I've found that the lab tests really don't measure function of thyroid, so clinical factors are much more important. As for what products I use, I use them all, and if one does not work, I'll use something else. My biggest thrill is when the patient comes in on the perfect dose, all her symptoms are resolved and she's healthier than she has been for years! Many of my patients are able to get off lots of other meds because they no longer need them, and most of those who need to lose weight, begin to do so once the best dose is found.
Since I am a gynecologist by training, I see only women for thyroid issues. Many also have gynecologic issues, polycystic ovaries, problematic menses, menopausal issues, etc. I am also a Certified Menopause Practitioner and have treated menopausal issues for over 20 years. I try to balance reproductive hormones in the same way that I do hypothyroidism. By treating all of these issues together, with a holistic approach, we usually end up with excellent results. I also find that hand outs and reprints of literature are very useful since we often cover so much information that it is impossible for anyone to retain it all. Please see our web site www.dhurlock.yourmd.com for more information. We no longer participate with insurance plans but we will give you the necessary paperwork for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement."

"She relies on patient input and lab results!" (Added 11/02)
More praise from a reader for Dr. Hurlock:
"She has saved my life! She listens when everyone else thinks that I am crazy. She understands secondary
hypothyroidism and she makes sure that I do too. Her "bedside manner" is terrific. I hope that I will
continue to see her no matter where I move to. She is worth a trip around the globe." (added 1/04)
Another recommendation:
"After many frustrating years with multiple symptoms and many doctors who didn’t understand and
misdiagnosed me, I found Dr. Hurlock. She looked at all my medical records and test results , but most
importantly she LISTENED to me. Dr. Hurlock worked with me and not only based my dosages of
Armour on my bloodwork, but also how I was feeling. I would recommend this doctor to anyone who
feels like they are not being heard. This doctor is a heck of a trip for me, but I will drive anywhere to
continue to be helped by someone this good." (Added 4/04)

for 12 plus years now. I have never had such a fantastic visit as I had today with Dr. McClanahan. Dr.
McClanahan's staff was fantastic when I called to schedule my initial appointment. They even sent me
a welcome packet of sorts in the mail, which I received the day after making my appointment. Dr.
McClanahan's whole office staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. He was open and receptive to
answering all of my questions. I didn't feel rushed or like I was putting him out by asking so many! Dr.
McClanahan appeared to be very interested and well read in all the new findings regarding thyroid
research. He believes thyroid patients feel better when their levels are in the 0.5 to 2.0 range rather than
the traditional 0.5 to 5.5 range. On the same note he did say if he has a patient that is at 3.0 and feels
fantastic -- why mess with it?! Dr. McClanahan also talked to me about the possibilities of taking
supplemental T3 in addition to Levoxyl if my labs appear fine and yet I still do not feel well. He seemed
extremely supportive in helping the patient to find a way to feeling better. His lab is in-office and I was
seen to have my blood drawn quite quickly. He said his office calls with all results not just "bad" ones.
He said to expect a call from them on Monday (today is Friday). When refilling my prescription he made
sure to specifically indicate that no generic substitutions were to be made by the pharmacy. He also
stressed to me the importance of using a brand name to ensure consistent doses. I just got back from my
appointment at his practice and am feeling very enthusiastic and hopeful. I wanted to let people know
about Dr. McClanahan right away! He is truly a fantastic physician! " (Added: Dec. 04)

Dr. McClanahan understands that some people may not feel their best even when the labs show normal
ranges. He is very open to prescribing Armour or supplemental T3 if the patient wants to try it. My other
endo only spent about 5 minutes in the room with me and was very dismissive about my concerns. I just
cannot say enough good things about this Dr. and his entire staff. I left my appointment armed with a
lot of knowledge about my disease." (Added 1/06)

"I want to let you know about an excellent doctor with whom I am working.
She figured out my undiagnosed thyroid problemafter years of problems. I almost don't want to let the world in on this information because it will be impossible to book an appointment after I do. I had an variety ofsymptoms which included fatigue, weight gain, menstruation difficulties (PMS, erratic periods, etc.), and just general "fogginess." These symptoms were not like me. I had been teaching fitness boot camp seven days a week, worked as a personal trainer, was always full of energy, could work all day and fall into bed. I had given birth to two healthy children and I weighed in the high 130s at 5'4". As a personal trainer and fitness instructor, I was typically energized or helped others become energized.
I first told my gynecologist about how I felt and she put me on birth
control pills and washed her hands of it. A few months later, general practitioners put me on anti-depressants for their perceived depression (which I took since I had no other plan in place,) estrogen cream and progesterone cream made at a special pharmacy for low estrogen and prog. levels, and an herbal adrenal fatigue supplement. These were regular M.D. doctors, who felt I, at 32-33, was experiencing early menopause. They had never seen it before, and it was not documented, but I would be the first patient in their knowledge to do so. (N. B.: Regardless of which practitioner I was seeing, or what time my appointment was, I waited at least 45 m up to 1.5 hours for my appointment. Calls to nurses were not returned promptly and you have to play phone tag to reach them.)
I did not feel confident with that diagnosis since it just was so odd. I
happened upon Dr. Walsh, since I was tired of waiting in GP's waiting room.
I came in a few weeks later with labs from various
other MD visits and she consulted with me. She ordered new tests. She
ruled out diabetes (this was never a concern, but she ruled it out). She
ruled out various other issues and then determined I had secondary
hypothyroidism. My TSH level was .99, but my T3 and T4 levels were low. My
pituitary gland was not sending the signal to my thyroid, or my thyroid was
not utilizing the information correcting. In any event, my body thought I
had plenty of thyroid hormone, but I did not. I feel at least 75% better mentally and physically I feel about 50% improved
Already. I am almost ready to claim victory! I just wanted to let you and your reader know about this amazing doctor, who spent the time and mental energy to figure out what was going on with me. I am indebted to her and so thankful I found some type of answer. (Note: She has same day appointments, has no front office staff except an answering service, is totally prompt and professional. She does not accept insurance, you must submit yourself. Her credentials are impeccable and her warm nature is genuine.)" (August 2007)
