Good Endo/dr in Southampton area (private or nhs)

Hi all, I’m new here! Hello!

Does anyone know of a good dr/Endo in the Southampton area, or south uk? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year (although I believe I’ve had this for years). I’ve asked for my dr to increase my L4 dose as I’m feeling fatigued. But it doesn’t seem to be working. (My T3 levels do not seem to be going up with the L4 increases). My cortisol levels are borderline low, so needs testing. I’ve been referred to an nhs Endo but my appointment is December!!!!! I can’t wait that long. I’ve asked Thyroid UK for list which I have but it’s so confusing. Only 1 in the south (Portsmouth), other that that, in London. But the private drs seem to be homeopaths. So completely confused. Can anyone help?

I will DM you as I’m not sure what the forum rules are re recommending endos.
