Has anyone seen any of these Endos and could recommend them? This is the list I have been given by the health insurance company of endos in my area that are approved. (Hampshire/west susex)
None are on the thyroid UK list : (
Dr Jimmy S Li Voon Chong
Dr Stephen J Cleland
Dr Michael H Cummings
Dr Deborah Ruth Bosman
Dr David Rew
Mr Gavin T Royle
Dr Partha Kar
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Quite a few are NHS consultants- how ironic. Quite a few have interest in diabetes mosty and some other thyroid unrelated fields and a couple are breast surgeons (?).
I saw the first doctor on your list and thought he was pretty good. He seemed open to discussing things I had read about here on Thyroid UK and actually gave me a prescription for T3 on top of the levothyroxine I was already taking but my GP wouldn't fill it. I saw him privately - on health insurance - but he was recommended by the GP!!! (so go figure about not filling the prescription). But that gave me the confidence to buy my own T3 abroad (in Greece).
He also said to keep him informed how I was getting on with going gluten free with respect to lowering the antibody attacks.
I’m due to see dr Bosman for the first time early next month; NHS, at my local hospital
I needed a fresh start for my endocrinologist relationship and my understanding of Addison’s (and how I’m to be monitored) and hopefully my thyroid situation too
I can let you know how I go? (By pm)
Don’t know the others (my normal endocrinologist not on your list)
Dr. Partha Kar is a consultant endocrinologist. His speciality is diabetes. He tweets extensively about diabetes but I've never seen him mention thyroid or adrenals.
