Don’t think it will state if the doctor is knowledgeable about B12.

Most endocrinologists are specialists in diabetes, less are knowledgable about thyroid. The list is a guide of private practitioners & not a recommendation or guaranteed you will be treated with better understanding.

B12 deficiency is treated by haematology I believe.

You could post again specifically asking if anyone has experience of a good endo with knowledge of thyroid & treatment of B12 deficiency they are willing to recommend.
