Thyroid Patient

"He performed a complete thyroidectomy on me due to a suspected cancer. Biopsies were not clear about the cancer until after the surgery. He listened to my thoughts and feelings about the partial versus total thyroidectomy and followed my wished to have it completely removed when the biopsy during surgery was unclear. A bonus that I later found out is that he is trained in cosmetic surgery as well. My scar looks beautiful and blends in more every day. He has been following my thyroid levels for more than a year now because my energy levels have not responded in spite of normal or even below normal TSH tests. He is very patient and willing to tweak the meds until we get it right. He is very kind, compassionate, open to the patient's perspective, and completely worth the 1 hour drive I make to see him every 6 weeks. He is committed to get me feeling my best." (June 2006)
