Seven Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Hypothyroidism

If I have questions between appointments, how can I best get in touch with you? Do you return calls yourself, or do your nurses? Do you have an email address for patient correspondence?

Here, you can gauge how available the doc plans to be. And if you have the option of looking for another doc, the response here may help you decide if you'll stay or go. Some docs will return calls themselves, or even answer email. Others will refer all questions to the nurses (who, by the way, often have just as good or even better info, so don't write that off as an option in some cases!) But if you want personalized, hands-on service, listen to what your doctor says here, because you'll get an idea of what to expect.
