Prof. Julian Davis from Manchester, please help me.

[MiaS79]

Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I have heard such wonderful things about the forum I really need help. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and my GP seems to be not able to do anything to help me. I need to see an endocrinologist. I live not far from Manchester and I searched the Internet trying to find a 'good' thyroid specialist. I found a name of prof Julian Davis, at Manchester Royal Infirmary. I do not know if he would be the right person to help me?

I am wondering if anybody ever seen prof Davis and if yes can you please share your expieriences. I am very worried as I have tried a couple of other endos but it was a disaster.

I am so desperate as it is so hard to get referral and I don't won't to see the wrong guy again.

Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Hi sorrel89!

I hope you're fine,

I know this post is from 5 years ago, but I am currently experiencing the same, I have no clue about what NHS endocrinologist to choose here in Manchester, I am worried about choosing an unsuitable endo, knowing how difficult is to get a referral from my GP.

Would you PM any detail please?

I would really appreciate your help on this matter.

Have a good day and kindest regards!

Mia, I have seen two great private specialist, expensive, it's the nhs who don't take private diagnoses on board, having said that, opinions of these endos opened doors. X

[MiaS79 in reply to merissa]

Thank you so much for your reply Merrisa. Can you please send me a message saying which private endos have you seen ? Thank you. Miaxx

I'm not too far from Manchester and thought of seeing him. I rang his secretary and asked her did he ever prescribe T3 or NDT and she said no! Sorry.

Dr Peatfield has clinics in Manchester every 2-3 months. You can google him to find out more. He has helped many on this site, I'm sure they can vouch for him. He's not cheap I think the first consultation is about £175. I'm currently reading his book "Your Thyroid and How to Keep it Healthy" It's a very good book and highly recommended.

Good luck!

[MiaS79 in reply to Yana]

Thank You Yana I am just trying to get my head around all of this. It is so much to learn, it is hard to decide whom to see. I need to get this book.

thanks once again for your reply.
