Need a doc in Spring/Humble area

[Guest guest]

Hi...

I really need to look for another endo--and soon. I was going to post

about my endo on the database, but I see he already has earned his

spot there (see doc on Peakwood). All I can say is that I totally

agree with that person's assessment, and more! I am an RN and he has

actually mocked me!

Can anyone recommend a doc in the northern suburbs of Houston (Spring

or Humble)? Need one who will take more than 30 secs to look at a

piece of paper and prescribe.

Thanks!

I think those doc recommends (or non-recommends) you saw were mine,

unfortunately

I saw Dr. Jean-Pierre in Humble, who seemed most promising

until my second appt. I have listed her in the list also.

Best of luck to you...and if you find a decent doc...let us all know!

I finally made the drive to Webster to see Dr. Hartig. Have only seen

her once and am getting ready for my first blood draw so I will update

the group once I have spoken to her about the results.

So, you were the one who saw the doc on Peakwood, eh? How does he

compare to the one in Humble? I usually can work my way aroud docs'

quirks, but the one on Peakwood is more than I can handle.

To be honest, I couldn't handle EITHER of them! I'm sorry, but if I

come into your office time after time with the same complaints, and

you ignore my desperate plea for help...I can no longer afford to

put my life, job, family, and sanity at risk. At this point I

really *am* desperate for a compassionate doctor who is willing to

LISTEN to me and offer me an alternative to the up and down dosing

of the crappy Synthroid I've been on for almost 17 years. Like I

said in an earlier post, I drove the one+ hour to Webster and have

hope that Dr. Hartig will be able to help me out. She's my last

stop before I make the trip to Lubbock to see the much-lauded Dr.

. I haven't had time to add all of the doctors I've seen to

the list, but I have not found ONE doctor in the Spring area worth a

darn. For the record, I've seen Benavides (now deceased, but LOVED

him), Zaniewski, Elhaj, Fox, Jean-Pierre, Acosta, a few others I

don't recall...

So...let's hope one of us will find somebody helpful! One thing is

for certain...if that person does exist, they will see a dramatic

INCREASE in patients once word gets out!

I live in Spring and I see Jody Caldwell in Conroe. I

love her and my life has greatly improved since seeing

her. One of the first things she told me is I was

likely Vitamin D deficient. She treats with natural

hormones and a lot of women see her for thyroid and

sex hormone issues. I highly recommend her and I

found her at a time when she literally saved my life.

Sometimes she isn't taking new patients but if you

call and say that you MUST see her for thyroid issues

she'll take you, but not as a primary doctor. She

takes most insurance. Even though she isn't my GP she

treats me for other things as they all seem to be

thyroid related. She isn't an endo, but she knows

hormones and thyroid and the Hell they can cause.

Wow...I feel a little lost now. Maybe I can persuade my PCP into

working with me, even though she said she didn't feel comfortable with

hyPER...She is a wonderful doc. Have you been to Choksi? (I think that

is how it is spelled)...

What does vitamin d have to do with the thyroid? My

endo in Houston accidentally tested my vitamin D level

(instead of antibodies for Graves), and I was

deficient, but he said that didnt matter, most people

in Houston are because they dont go outside much?? I

am needing to go to a doctor that looks at the total

picture, and Caldwell is on my plan, so I may try her

out. It sounds like she helped you alot, so hoping she

can do same for me. My doc keeps taking my synthroid

does up and down to the point where I am pretty much

experimenting at this point. I need help.

It is my understanding that being Vit. D definicient

makes you more prone to developing some cancers and

that is why it is a big deal, plus it can make you

feel pretty bad. I was experiencing constant pain in

my calves. I can only speak from my experience and

give you my story. I think in my case Vitamin D

definciency was related because I had my thyroid

removed before I ever saw Dr. Caldwell. I don't truly

know if that is possible, but that is my gut feeling

since my calcuim levels dropped very low after my

surgery. And in general if your thryoid levels aren't

right, then it seems to mess with everything! There

are many ladies on this site that are more educated on

all this stuff than me. I do know that Dr. C helped

me as I couldn't take one more day of living in what I

called Synthroid Hell! I became so desperate that I

switched myself to Armour. At a TSH of 15

post-surgery I wanted to die on Synthroid. I switched

myself to Armour and didn't get the dose right and I

had a TSH of 20, but I felt so much better. Dr.

Caldwell helpmed me perfect the dose and she continues

to let me stay on the regimen I have been at for over

two years. Most docs would look at my TSH and lower

my dose, but my heart rate and blood pressure are good

and I feel good so she lets me stay there. Good luck!

I added the record. Please let me know if I did it

incorrectly. Is there a pharmacist record too? Jody

Roberds in Conroe is the only pharmacist I allow to

touch my Armour. He recommended Dr. Caldwell (because

he thought I needed Armour) and carries a lot of

natural products at his pharmacy, Roberd's Pharmacy.

He also compounds.
