Guest guest Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Agreed, the emotional trauma of continuing to see inadequate and under informed docs is too much to handle. Money is an issue for me as well but I know that all of those co-pays add up and you can't put a price on your health and peace of mind. I understand your frustration.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I've seen Dr. Spurlock for over a year. He addresses all thyroid/adrenal issues and more. I love seeing him every time I go. He spends a lot of time with me strategizing. Open-minded. Creative. Great staff, responsive. I call and get a copy of my labs before my appt so I can review them and collect my thoughts. Worth the wait, worth every penny.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I totally 100% agree with your comment! It is exactly what I was thinking but couldn’t put into words.

I have still found that it's well worth it to pay out of pocket - in the long run you will save alot of time, suffering and money. The per hour rate you pay for the good doctors is often *much* less than you pay for the docs that take your insurance/co-pay. My PCP charges me the same for a 15 min appt that Dr. Spurlock charges for a 1+ hour follow-up (i.e., he's about 1/4 the cost as my PCP). Personally I'll pay whatever I have to in order to maintain optimal health. It's very much a pay now or pay later situation. The advantage of the pay now is that you suffer a whole lot less. I spent the *most* miserable year of my life with a doctor that seemed quite good that was on my insurance. I was a compliant patient and suffered tremendously. Honestly, if I didn't have kids, I likely would not be here now - I was that miserable - I had no quality of life. I literally crawled out of bed everyday to care for my kids and only by the grace of God was I able to work since I had a job where I could work from home. In hindsight, I have no idea how I did it. I will *never* do that again. Borrowing from Scarlett, " As God as my witness, I will never suffer like that again " . B. I tried to call and he doesn't take medicare...bummer aghhhh the search continues...

I have heard good things about him, I hope it's all true.
