Thyroid Doc

[Guest guest]

Why did you remove him?

From: Texas_Thyroid_Groups [mailto:Texas_Thyroid_Groups ] On Behalf Of Jan Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 11:56 PMTo: Texas_Thyroid_Groups Subject: Re: Re: Doctor in Dallas/ville-Tee

Please email me privately for information on why I removed Dr. from our list. Put "Thyroid Doc" in the subject line so that I do not think it is spam and delete it unread.

Dr. Sebring is on our list because we had one member who had been seeing him for some time and was quite happy with the treatment she was getting from him.

Again, we do not know how any of these docs treat hyper. When we start getting some feedback from the hyper folk on our site, I will start to put together a separate list of "docs good for hyper."

Do use the database form to report on any docs you have seen for thyroid issues in the past, "the good, the bad, and the ugly. . . "

Tee,Sorry for the late reply to your post. I am guessing your reply wasreferring to my question as to were there any good doc's (endo's) inAustin. Of note is I have been told by a patient of Dr. Fehrenkampthat he is quite good, however he is not on my insurance but rightdown the street. Because I am also treating my Graves with acupunctureand chinese herbs in addition to Tapazole <covered under insurance>,etc; I cannot afford to self pay at this time. I am seeing Dr. Cassabon (sp?) at Blevin's office since 08/2005, but Ido not like him one bit. RAI bully and argumentative when I ask aboutlonger than 1 year Anti Thyroid Drug use. I do not plan to use himlong term anyway. A friend with Graves currently in remission really does seem to likeTom Blevins. She has seen him for 2 years. I was willing to book thenext available appt. for him in Oct. 2006. This does seem like aridiculous amount of time to wait but thought it might be worthwhileto get away from the RAI bully associate of his. I am guessing that Dr. Launis is in Dallas/ville. Who is Dr.Sebring in Wimberley? I am distantly considering an appointment with Dr. Ted as Ihave heard great things about him from a "hypo" friend. I saw Manzanero when my son was a baby 7.5 years ago. Even drove over20 miles to get there. I thought about seeing him this time forGraves, but learned of the huge amount of $$ to see him and it seemedhe had changed. Just did not get a good feeling especially aftertalking to another holistic MD in Austin about him. Anyway, wishing there were more good doc's in Austin. I am prepared toself pay in the end if need be. Thanks so much Tee,>> Jan, I have a co-worker who used Manzanero for a brief time...shewon't go to him now. She said he demands really strange hours and daysto see patients, if at all. And she didn't feel that he was trulytrying to help her...he was more interested in charging really highfees. in is listed as doing "boutique medicine" on the group'slist so I crossed him off immediately. Sebring is not in Austin but inWimberely and I didn't find any info on Sebring on this list nor didI find anyone on here that has been to Sebring. > > I chose Launius because others on this list have been to him and Iwas willing to take a chance to find a good doctor. He is worth thedrive to me. In fact I started out today at 6AM to take my best friendto see him this morning. Just got back home.> And my best friend almost cried with relief after a 2 hour sessionwith him. He has been the first doc that has truly listened to her andher symptoms and he explained everything in detail for her - he lovesto diagram stuff - very visual fellow!> > If I thought I could find someone in Austin I would certainly gobut so far I've not found many positive comments on any doctors herefor thyroid issues. Scumpia left a very bad taste in my mouth. Blevinsapparently is not much better when it comes to thyroid issues either.> > Austin, in general, suffers from a lack of good doctors. We do nothave a medical school here - thus we do not get the cream of the cropwhen it comes to doctors...pickens are slim and have always been thatway...even my internal med doc has been disappointed with who she canrefer her patients to etc. for specialty cases.> > So I'll be driving to Dallas every couple of months...> > Cheers, Tee
