Does anyone know if there is a good doctor or consultant to treat Graves' disease in the Colchester, Essex area?

Daughter who was diagnosed three years ago is returning from abroad and was hoping to have correctional surgery to her eyes.

I am being treated by an endo at the Ipswich hosp - I have not got graves but he has been quite good with me, although how good he would have been if I didn't know as much as I do regarding my condition is another matter. We started off on an argument over T3 and went from there.

I am now loads better than I was, and he will send you to all sorts of other consultants if he feels you need it plus he is very good at ordering tests. Since being under him I have had heart scans, bone scan, adrenal tests and am due to see a gastro consultant next month.

I suppose it depends on what you want out of your endo - if your looking for thyroid medication that isn't T4 I doubt if you will get anywhere but it you want someone who is very thorough and keeps you well informed then you would get on alright with him.

If you want his name you will have to PM me as we are not allowed to name individual consultants on here.
