Dr Toft is an a Endocrinologist. I see him regularly.

He is based in Spire Murrayfield as a private Endocrinologist.

Cariad123,

Why don't you buy T3 online and self medicate?

He wrote to my GP for me and asked them to prescribe it to me based on his recommendation (rather than me pay privately for him to prescribe). My Gp did it after some debate.

Dr Toft is good but he has limitations too.

I would certainly recommend contacting him before making the trip to see him but I would also recommend you do this as opposed to self medicating. Always better if you can get it officially through your doctor than to self medicate IMO) x
