Been referred to an Endocrinologist at last

11 months ago•5 Replies

I’ve been referred to a choice of 3 hospitals and would like some feedback from this forum in a private message as to whether any have a thyroid friendly endocrinologist.

Am I allowed to name the hospitals?

😊

Yes you can name the hospitals but then the message will be closed so that responses are sent directly to you privately.

You could also send for the Thyroid UK list and check if any of them are on the list.

Thank you. Any feedback to my private chat would be very much appreciated. I have asked for a list, as suggested by SlowDragon.

vast minority of endocrinologists are diabetes specialists and useless for thyroid

Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors emailed to you, but within the email a link to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists

Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations

STRONGLY recommend you get FULL Thyroid and vitamin testing privately BEFORE consultation
