Private endos in Kent, please

My sister, early sixties, is having a lot of health problems which might be thyroid/adrenals/pituitary related. She is on a waiting list to see a NHS endo but is not diagnosed with any thyroid problem. She had a test with GP which came back TSH 3.7 and FT4 10 (but no ranges). She is considering a test with Medichecks and finding a private endo, ideally in Kent.

Looking online she has found Abbi Lulsegged, Jesse Kumar (who includes thyroid and adrenals), Sharif Ibrahim, Ling Ling Chuah, and Siva Sivappriyan.

Any comments on the above, good or bad, cost etc by private message, please.

Any other endos in Kent? Any good ones on NHS?

Non-Kent endos that look at the wider pituitary axis?

I always wondered if my hypothyroidism was more pituitary than thyroid, so maybe a sluggish pituitary can have a genetic component? We have another sister with severe fibromyalgia.

Thanks in advance for any private messages (no names mentioned in comments on the thread, please, as per forum guidelines)

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.

Not what you're looking for?
