Top Docs

Subscribers write in to share information on their favorite "Top Docs." Read about why a patient thinks a particular doctor -- and we've had general practitioners, endocrinologists, osteopaths and others -- is a real "Top Doc" by patient standards. In the "Top Docs" column, you'll read about a doctor who shared his patient's disappointment over an unproductive endocrinologist visit and a doctor who clearly spotted a thyroid problem that other doctors had missed for ten years!

Every week, hundreds of thyroid patients in our community get together to have online chats, or post helpful and supportive information via online bulletin board systems.

I read dozens of health and medical magazines, newsletters and journals each month, looking for information on how to improve our relationships and communication with doctors. When I find something that you might be interested in, I feature it in the newsletter so you can help improve this relationship that is so important to your wellness.

Personal Stories and Experiences

Because thyroid disease is something that affects each of us personally, the newsletter frequently profiles the websites, good advice and personal stories of our members of the fellow Thyroid Disease patient community. Here are a few highlights:
