Endocrinologist (nyc)

[bkmuscledad]

Have any of you ever seen an endocrinologist? Any thoughts or comments?
Are there any recommendations for or against one in the NYC area?

I go to one for hyperactive thyroid occasionally. My experience has been a short consultation to make sure im feeling ok, blood work, and then prescriptions sent to pharmacy. Waiting around is normally the worst part. Depends on your case and severity though.

I went to one for blood sugar issue. Same as kokay above.....blood work and script to phrmacy. I guess the treatment you receive will be based on your condition.

I have also treated for hyper and hypo active thyroid. Yes mine was all over the place. After a year and a half of medication everything settled down. No longer on any medication (3 years now) because I figured out what issue was which cause the erratic behavior, STRESS! Keep stress in check becuse your body will react and try to correct it by itself. I no longer stress about many things and my thyroid thanks me!

Guess it depends on why you are wanting to see an endocrinologist? I see mine twice a year. And have for the past three years

Hypothyroid and A. I.
The wait is usually fairly long.
Blood work then the needed prescriptions are called into the pharmacy.
A call to days afterwards to give me my blood work results.

Please excuse my ignorance. What is A.I.? (I'm assuming not artificial intelligence in this case).

Saw one in Florida, discovered thyroid cancer.
After surgery to remove it and treat surrounding area, medication has replaced its function.
My doctor was a super guy.

I'm glad that worked out the way it did.
