Q: Recently I went to see my doctor because in 2024 I will have been on Synthroid for 10 years and wanted to run some tests. He wasn't open to a discussion. Do you have a list of open-minded doctors to recommend for Montreal?
I’m sorry you’re going through this; it can be challenging to advocate for your own health. Dr. Wentz believes that everyone needs to find a practitioner that will let them be a part of the healthcare team. You want someone that can guide you, that will also listen to you and your concerns. Here are some resources I hope are helpful. Although we can't direct you to a specific doctor near you, we can point you to our list of patient-recommended doctors that we are currently building: Thyroid Pharmacist Clinician List. You may also want to check out these sites: Institute of Functional Medicine and ZRT Lab, which maintain lists of knowledgeable clinicians. I will have the team link those sites in the transcript.
Please note that we have not vetted any of the doctors in these lists, but they can be a good place where to start your search and maybe find one that offers Telehealth services if they are not nearby.
