What makes you passionate about treating patients with hypothyroidism:

I love treating patients with hypothyroidism because each case is unique and I have the opportunity to create a lifelong relationships with patients.  On a personal level, I myself have hypothyroidism and struggled with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. I hold a special place in my heart for women who are trying to conceive, experiencing infertility, suffering recurrent pregnancy loss, or who are pregnant.  I am always happy to share my experiences, my successes, and my failures.

My approach to treating patients with hypothyroidism is:

My approach to treating patients with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease is personalized. Each patient with hypothyroidism has different symptoms which are most concerning to them. Sometimes we cannot address them all at once, so we choose the symptoms that affect your quality of life or health the most. Unfortunately, symptoms of hypothyroidism don't always resolve quickly, but over time we can develop a targeted treatment plan to get you feeling well and onward to optimal health.
