Info on 4/5/16: I found Dr. Abraham on a "good thyroid doctor" website listing for endocrinologists in the KC area.
I tracked her down, and she's in a new practice (as of 1/18/16):
Overland Park Endocrine and Diabetes Center
10600 Quivira Road
Suite 300
OP, KS 66215
I'll give an updated review after my initial appointment in early May 2016. I really hope that Dr. Abraham is a great thyroid doc, and listens as an endocrinologist.
5/24/16: Heard back from the doc's nurse about my blood-work (lab results) and sonogram. Focused on the regular stuff, no real answers or emphasis on my concerns.
[ 5/26/16: A *different* doc ID'd that I have adrenal insufficiency, which is exacerbating my hypothyroidism and my hypoglycemia. Hmmm...a doc in a completely different medical field with a holistic POV is helping me feel better....go figure. ]
6/4/16: Meh, I'm really disappointed in my experience with Dr. Abraham. :-(
Her office location is a challenge to reach with traffic & construction, then park & reach for a punctual appointment.
I'm very surprised that Dr. Abraham made it onto a "good thyroid doctors" list. Whoever listed her must not have had a serious or long-standing thyroid issue. (I've been diagnosed hypothyroid since 2011, with symptoms for many years prior to that.)
Dr. Abraham is a cool & calm professional, but she's just another westernized doc who didn't *really listen* to my issues and questions. Although, she did have an awesome model of thyroid issues on her counter from one of the Big Pharma companies. Guess which product it "supported?"
She was noticeably upset that I've been on Armour NDT (because I requested it from my last 2 docs). She specifically told me that she would *never* prescribe that type of "unpredictable medicine," and that our synthetic thyroid T4 only Rx options in the US are the best way to go.
Baloney!!
**I know** what works for *MY body* long-term better than **ANY** MD, PhD, NP, etc. whom I've *ever* seen. Thank God that I believe in being my own medical & health advocate.
Bottom line: Waste of my time for appointment, blood for lab work, time for a thyroid sonogram appointment, and 2 $40 co-pays. read more
