RE: anyone know Dr. Lorie Shapiro or Dr. Brown in Houston?

[Guest guest]

Hi. I don't know if this will be helpful but I went to Dr. Shapiro about ten years ago. I think I was about 15 or 16. I don't know anything about her med or lab philosophy but I do recall that I didn't care for how withdrawn and aloof she seemed to be. That could just be me. My dad likes her alot but I prefer to feel like the person I've made an investment in has invested in me. Sort of a more caring personal attitude. Hope you find someone with more pertinent info.

Good luck

Misty

I was diagnosed as hypo a few weeks back with Dr. Shapiro. I

thought she was great. My regular Dr recommended her - because she

sees shades of gray, instead of black an white. That was definitely

true in my case. My TSH came back at 2.3 (normal range), but she

said that I had enough symptoms to warrant going thru the TRH test.

Those results came back within two days and her staff called me at

work to give me the results, call in my prescription, and gave me

advice on how to take the meds. I thought this was great - no doc

appt needed just to give me the results.

I thought she was friendly and listened. I've had all of my other

doctors tell me that my symptoms were either vanity (weight gain -

and yup, I ditched that Dr in a hurry) or stress. She actually took

my symptoms seriously and did a full investigation.

I've also got a few coworkers who see her and love her as well.

Good luck!
