I don't know how close Birmingham is to Mobile, but Runels in Mobile is excellent.

If you can make it to Lufkin, Dr. Kittley may meet your criteria.

You will not necessarily find a better thyroid doc in a larger city.

Hi. I am also trying to find another doc who is closer to my house. I found Dr. Sloan in Lufkin who is an endo but I have not made an appt. with him. I don't know anything about him. I have tried a couple of docs in Houston (where my daughter lives), but have not been impressed with either. I am due to have some blood work done and will be going to Houston friday for this. Once I get the results, I will probably try and find another doc for my next visit. That is why I am considering calling Dr. Sloan's office. I live in Woodville, which is about an hour south of Lufkin. If anyone has knowledge of Dr. Sloan I would appreciate any input.

Delana,

Who did you see in Houston? I am looking for a Houston doc and don't

want to waste my time seeing someone I wouldn't like. What did you

not like about them?

Has anyone heard or gone to Sheldon feld, MD in Houston? My

psychiatrist suggested him saying he was one of the best.....

He is a horrible dr. He told me that I didn't have any thyroid removed (based on his ultrasound)...idiot. I had an excellent two surgeons in there and had tumors removed. And, he told me that I didn't need thyroid meds but I did need to go to an inpatient therapy for the tune of $5000 for three days and so on. I told him he was wrong and I would prove it. I did. I got off of meds and my TSH shot up. Not that he will ever know as I wouldn't waste my time or $$ to go back to him. I can assure you I am not depressed, I just have fatigue...hmmm, what do you think could be causing that?

Initially I saw Dr. Sharma (sp.?) who performed the biopsy that

determined I had thyroid cancer. She was very indifferent and in my

opinion rough when she performed the biopsy. She had a doc observing

her as she did the biopsy and his phone rang durning the procedure.

I did not appreciate it. The biopsy was quite painful. I have a

pretty high pain tolerance, as I've been through other surgeries and

this was right up there as far as pain goes. I then went Dr. Sherman

at MD . He is extremely knowledgable regarding the endocrine

system. However, he is a numbers only doc, basically telling me that

my feeling bad had to be related to some other issue. I saw him for a

year. Then I tried Dr. Jablonski in Webster. His bedside manner left

a lot to be desired. Another knowledgable doc but falls in the

category of the number game, not how you feel. He also said that my

feeling tired etc must be related to something else. From what I've

learned on this site, they are typical of endo docs. Neither doc

likes armour. I will go to Dr. Jablonski's office friday for blood

work. I don't have to see him though. I am currently on unithroid and

I feel okay. I honestly think I could feel better, but since I have

leveled out some, I think I would be nervous to switch over to Armour

and have to go through the adjustment period again. Hope this helps.
