Dr. C listen to me and that matters as a lot of doctors just want to tell you what they are going to do or what we aren’t doing. But what they daily to inner-stand we have been living with this day and night for a long time and sometimes before they go into there demands, we want to be heard and listen to. Dr. C did that and more. I have not ever been told that I am not to take my thyroid medication within 3-4 hours of not eating. And I have been on this medication since I was 18. When my levels were high doctors would only ask are you taking your meds? And yes I am taking it. Dr. C educated me, listened to me and we came up with a plan and that I love.
