Has anyone ever been to see any of the doctors/practitioners off the Thyroid UK list that they recommend?

Thyroid UK Doctors
Hi I’m new here can you direct me to the list please?
Hi rosserk
(in the nicest way possible your username auto corrects to tosser so don't be offended if I don't notice or forget to change it I'm not being rude haha)
You need to email louise.roberts@thyroiduk.org to request the most recent list
I've asked twice in the last year and they most recent had some different than the first so it gets updated fairly regularly
Lol! Don’t you just love auto correct, “Salty”?
Thanks for the email 😜
Hi
Are these private docs or NHS ones?
Both
The most recent email I had from Louise contained nhs and private endocrinologist. But I did only ask for endo's.
Last year I asked for a list of GP's and was sent both the nhs and private endo lists plus a private gp list. They didn't have an nhs gp list x
Yes just today!
Yes I did a year ago and see him every 6 months now. He was well informed and I am grateful for the recommendation on the list.
Please note these are not Thyroid UK recommendations as such,it is a list recommended by members of Thyroid UK and of this forum.
Absolutely! I've recommended a couple for the list.
Can you please message me who you recommend, thankyou
You'd be better emailing Louise Roberts (louise.roberts@thyroiduk.org) for the full list as the people I've seen might not be local to you. As Treepie says, if people on here and members of Thyroid UK think a consultant is particularly good, they can contact Louise so the doctor can be added. They will all have been recommended by patients.
Yes. Have seen one a few times.
It is so difficult to recommend though because one person can have a good experience and one a bad with the same doctor.
It really does depend on what the issues are. Functional medicine doctors look at the root cause as do nutritionists. Whereas conventional doctors seem to look at blood test results and not the whole picture.
Yes, I went to one in Winchester. Well worth it.
Yes, in Birmingham. Privately the first time, then asked to be referred back into the NHS for subsequent visits. Very understanding.
