X-Post from NW: Need a doctor reco!

OMG, the day has come. My Mom and her sister both have thyroid problems. My Mom is hypo and her sister is hyper. All my life I've been underweight and I eat like a beast, my regular doctor has been monitoring my thyroid since I was 16 just waiting for the day that it showed I was hyper. About a year ago I came down with a weird skin condition commonly associated with thyroid disease, but my thyroid tests remained normal and my dermatologist has just kept repeating the tests every so often. Well, I just got the call....the last round came back showing hyperthyroidism. I knew all my life I would have it eventually, but man is it a shock when it finally happens.

So....I need to go to an endocrinologist. And I really need to get one in the Garden City area - that's where I work and I'm starting my first lawyer job on Monday so I really have to figure out how to do this at lunch time and not take off/leave early.

Can anyone recommend a GREAT endo in or near Garden City (maybe w/in like a 10 or 15 min drive - I am right on the Meadowbrook exit M2).

Thanks.

Jess ... I don't know one but I wanted to give you lots of these

You should also look in Huntingon, maybe you could get a 8:00 appt or something and hopefully only be a teeny bit late for work.

CONGRATS on starting the new job BTW!

I can't even count the number of times I've said I'll go to the gym early in the AM - it hasn't even happened once!!!

Hey Jess,

My dad had a hypothyroid and he had a great Dr. in Rockville Centre. I'm in the midst of tons of wedding stuff but I'll see him tomorrow. Send me an FM.

FH's doctor is in Lake Success. She's really great.

That's probably close enough to me I think? Could I have the information?
