Dr. Bessie Owens closes practice

[Guest guest]

I called Dr. Owens yesterday to make an appointment and the receptionist told me

she is closing her practice, effective yesterday.

This was very disappointing to me as I have seen about every doc in Dallas. Her

office is supposed to call me back with a recommendation of another thyroid doc.

My internist can't help me. He asked me to give him a try on thyroid treatment,

he said it was one of his sub specialties. He kept me on Armour but was slowly

increasing synthorid and lowering the Armour and I was quickly losing hair and

having other increased symptoms. Now I am taking compounded thyroid and generic

synthroid, and he refuses to prescribe anything compounded so I can't even get

him to write a refill for me. I don't know that Dr. Owens is the greatest, only

been seeing her for maybe 8 months, but she is very kind and totally understands

how hypothyroid people feel, and believes what I tell her.

I don't post here hardly ever, but I do read the posts from time to time. If

anyone has a recommendation of a doc they love around Dallas, please let me

know. I'll start reading the past posts to see if there is a doc that I would

be compatible with.
