Anyone have an endocrinologist recommendation?  I'm looking for someone who is not only focused on weight -- can see the whole person, lifestyle, etc. -- and is forward thinking and progressive in their treatment style.

My hubby has Graves Disease ( a form of hyperthyroidism), their group has handled it both professionally and personably from beginning to now. He is doing so extremely well!

And they were very nice and informatable to me as well!

In treating my hubby, they have seen be go from before surgery to making goal! And have shown wonderfu support!

Thanks Jules!  Any particular doctor there?

My pre-op bloodwork showed some hypothyroid indication -- can't really say I was surprised since there's a family history.  Met a new endo 2 weeks ago.  Didn't care for him from the word go -- kept me waiting in the exam room for over an hour.  Followed instructions and called for test results.  He had the woman in the office tell me that I should proceed w/ surgery and see him 3 months post op for treatment.  When I asked her questions, she just repeated what he said.  I'm seeing my PCP Monday.  If she wants me to see someone, I will keep your suggestion at the top of the list.
