FIND A DOCTOR
How Do I Find a Good Thyroid Doctor?Thyroid conditions can be treated by many types of doctors. However, patients are reporting that integrative physicians, naturopathic doctors, osteopaths (D.O.s), and some family doctors and endocrinologists are preferred as long as they meet the basic criteria below.
We created this page since many patients find difficulty finding practitioners who test beyond TSH or prescribe beyond T4-only (levothyroxine). |
