Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have been fighting a cold and have not gotten to the computer to respond to the concerns about the doctors in this area (specifically Dr. Sullivan). I just feel I need to share my experience one more time. A month or two ago I posted about Dr. Sullivan and his unconventional approach to Adrenals. You can do a search to find my prior post. I don’t want to address that again because I feel I need to stay on topic. I went to Dr. Sullivan a year ago after reading posts that spoke favorably about him. I have had successes after a year with him. He treats my female hormones too, not just my thyroid. He believes in testing the Frees, Reverse T3, listening and doing something about symptoms. He believes that ThyCa & Hashimotos patients should have a suppressed TSH. He did state to me that he does watch the numbers in regards to Osteoporosis, so no he won’t treat “undetectable” (mine was .03 and he was fine with it). He does prescribe Armour. He does believe that patients may need a different combination of T4 & T3 meds to get them where they need to be. He does order the Diagnostic Tech Saliva test to check Adrenals. Lab results are available online and you can email him questions. He does personally respond and though his emails may be short and too the point, I know that if I don’t feel satisfied with the way I feel or how he is treating my case, I can request an appointment and he will listen to what I have to say and make some concessions. Approximately six months ago I learned that 4 other women in my neighborhood also see Dr. S and love him. None of them see him for Adrenals but feel grateful for his treatment of their Thyroid and female hormones. I was emailed privately in regards to Dr. S when a negative post was given about him (as should have been posted because that was feedback asked for). I am sorry to have not responded to those of you who contacted me, but I feel it is best to respond to all. With that said, the list of doctors that treat every patient perfect for every hormone ailment is very small and one has a list of over 60 on his waiting lists, another just stopped practicing due to mold issues, another is not getting to treat as he should and a few others get both good and bad reviews. With so few doctors and so many of us suffering, please keep in mind that no one doctor may fit every shoe/patient (and vise versa) and not all doctors treat every ailment. I believe that Dr. Sullivan may be a huge help to someone with Thyroid and female hormone issues. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
