Aberdeen

Roger Waddell, MD, General Practitioner, Bonnie Brook Road, Aberdeen, (910) 944-7777. A reader shares the following; "He listens to patients fully, evaluates their symptoms as well as test results, and is willing to work with the patients when a particular line of treatment doesn’t seem to give the desired results. He has used T3 treatment as well as Armour Thyroid and Westhroid in treating my hypothyroidism."

A reader writes:
"He listens, and treats clinically" (Added Apr 06)

Arden

Dr. Flechas, Fibromyalgia, Arden, N.C. 828-687-2324. A reader writes: After first seeing me he noticed I had no body hair and very dry skin. I told him I was sick and he said yes you are and we will work to get you well. After being told for years nothing was wrong though the thyroid condition was known and I was on Synthroid nothing was done by the other doctor. I had lumps in throat and could not swallow Dr. Flechas listen and found the lumps to be the beginning of a goiter due to severe hypothyroidism. My metabolism was shutting down to lack of T3 and my meds were changed to Unithroid and T3 and iodine capsules to reduce the nodules in neck. It has worked great and the T3 gave me my energy back . This doctor really listens." (Added 2/03)

Asheville

David A. Hester endocrinologist, Asheville Endocrinology Consultants, PA750 Alliance Court Asheville, NC 28806 (828) 670-6812. A reader tells us, "For several years I was made to feel like a hypochondriac, even though I have been through a documented case of Graves disease, radioactive iodine, a 3-year anaphylactic allergic reaction, and diagnosed hypothyroidism. I then went for my first visit with this doctor and he encouraged me to research as much information as possible (unlike my family physician), treated me like a human being, never told me how fat I was, sympathized with me when I mentioned symptoms and pains, and told me that even when I reach "normality" per lab results if I was still experiencing hypothyroidism symptoms, he would work with me and possibly use T-3 meds to treat me. I just felt like I was taken seriously and that someone understood how I was feeling and CARED."

Another reader writes:
"I was very impressed with Dr. Hester's ability to deal with a patient who has done research on her disease. He was not offended at all when, at my last appointment, I brought up the subject of T3. I was not feeling better on just Levoxyl. He increased my dose of that medication and added Cytomel (5mg. 2x's per day) to treat the T3. He is very empathetic and truly seems to LISTEN to your concerns!" (Added Dec. 04)

A reader writes:
"I have just found your website and would like to comment on Dr. Hester. He has been my endocrinologist for 12 years now. From day one, he has listened to me first and foremost. He encourages me to try alternative/homeopathic treatments and research as much as possible to help improve my health. I have recommended him to many friends and all of them have thanked me. Before Dr. Hester, I was told by other doctor's that my levels were in the "normal" range. He told me that he was more concerned about my symptoms along with my test results as opposed to test results only. He will not shove your name in a pile with all the rest. You are unique and he will diagnose and treat you as such. I highly recommend him." (Added Dec. 2006)

Wilson, Jr., M.D., F.A.A.E.M. holistic 1312 Patton Avenue, Asheville, N.C. 28806 phone# 828-252-9833 A reader shares, "In addition to my thyroid he found I had low B-12 levels and that my adrenals were stressed. He is very patient and willing to listen to what you have to say. He is also concerned with how you feel not just your lab results. He treats with T4 and T3 thyroid medicine."

Charlotte

Dr. Gary Rolband, Endocrinologist, Mecklenburg Medical Group, Randolph Road Office, 704 365 0760. A reader writes: "After 'knowing' that I had a thyroid problem for more than 3 years, and being treated as a hypochondriac, I saw Dr. Rolband. He listened to all my symptoms, and did numerous tests to find that I had a B12 deficiency as well as a thyroid disease problem. Six months later, my Grave's disease was in full flower, and I had RAI therapy soon after. He made a huge difference by actually listening and saying that, " obviously something was making me feel this bad, and we were going to work until we figured out what that was."

Another reader recommends Dr. Rolband:
"He listens & is truly concerned!! He is willing to research if answers are not immediately clear." (added 1/04)

More praise from a reader for Dr. Rolband:
"I saw Dr. Rolband for a thyroid goiter and hypothyroidism that had been treated poorly in the past by 2 family physicians. Dr. Rolband was wonderful! He is working with me to treat my disease and listens to you. He doesn't make you feel like a constant complainer. He did numerous tests and spent over an hour with me. He is great!" (added 1/04)

Another reader writes:
"Dr Rolband has been by doctor for over 10 years. He listens! I have several diseases and he has been helpful with 90% of them. If he doesn't know the answer he is more than willing to help find a source that will help. He is always open to questions and new information. He is without a doubt the best physician I have ever encountered." (Added 6/05)
