Doctor Recommendation - Dr. Mabray

[Guest guest]

Happy New years to everyone! I don't post here much, but try to

read thru the posts as much as possible.

Wanted to quickly post a recommendation for Dr. Mabray. He looks to

be a great resource for not only thyroid issues, but endo and any

other auto immune diseases. He is located in , which was an

hour and a half commute for me. A bit of a distance, but not quite

the stretch that Dr. would have been in Lubbock. I was

never able to coordinate a trip out there, so was looking for other

alternatives.

He is the FIRST doctor I have spoken with that is not just

interested in treating symptoms, but getting to the root of the auto

immune disease and creating a comprehensive treatment plan.

In a nutshell what I found most impressive:

>Unrushed office environment. Not just Dr. M, but his entire staff

took time and I did not feel pressured to encapsulate my symptoms in

a ten minute conversation. Similar to what I have heard about Dr.

.

>Comprehensive questions about current, past and family health

issues. Dr. M uncovered some important things by asking me

questions based on questions I had answered on the form I filled out

prior to the exam. He also spent time explaining the various auto

immune diseases, what is happening in the body, etc.

>Comprehensive blood testing. It will vary from person to person,

but mine was several pages long - 3 viles of blood. I did not feel

he left one stone unturned.

>Gentle demeanor and positive outlook. We all know what a relief it

is to find medical personnel who don't think we are head cases and

KNOW that indeed that our bodies are sick and not working properly.

However, I think it is equally important to have a doctor to guide

you to good health and not allow you to be a victim and remain ill.

>Dr. M waits until he sees the blood tests and will develop a plan

from there. Pretty critical if you are dealing with adrenal issues,

hormone issues, etc. as you can't just throw a bunch of medicines at

them as a fix.

I did leave with a sample of progesterone drops which I had not

tried before. They worked WONDERS on my fatigue and brain fog.

Don't know if anyone else has tried them, but I'd be interested to

know what you think.

Dr. Mabray prescribes Armour as well as bioidentical hormones and

also treats adrenal fatigue (he prefers saliva test for that

diagnosis) as well as insulin resistance.

Hope this helps for those of you looking for someone in the Houston

area. The drive was well worth it.
