Which Physician To Consult For Thyroid Irregularities?
what physician specialty is best consulted to regulate the thyroid. I have taken levothyroxine for over 30 years and my GP states it is to high a dosage. She has made four changes and still has not gotten it to a therapeutic level. I am losing confidence in her.

Hi,
1. As thyroid is associated with metabolism and one of the endocrine gland [releasing thyroxine] thus you should see an "Endocrinologist" who are trained physicians to diagnose disease(s) related to the gland [hormonal imbalance].
2. You may search the 'Doctors' section [Endocrinologist] for further necessary consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood
