Dr. Eva is an absolute godsend. I am hypothyroid, and have suffered from severe hormonal imbalance. I've been to many endocrinologists who haven't been able to help me, and I've suffered tremendously. Irregular periods, infertility, severe PMS, fibrocystic breast disease, chronic constipation, depression, weight gain, hair loss, brain fog, etc. Previous doctors only offered to manage my symptoms, or dismiss my complaints altogether because they couldn't understand them. Dr. Eva discovered the root cause to all of my troubles, and I am doing so much better because of it. She has given me my life back, and I feel like a new person! Both my husband and I are so grateful to her.
Dr. Eva's philosophy is different. Most endocrinologists evaluate you based upon very broad reference ranges, and if you fall into that reference range then you are considered "normal" even if you are still suffering from symptoms. They simply shrug their shoulders, and don't know how to further help you. Sadly, they really aren't good at what they do, and their understanding of endocrinology is very limited. Dr. Eva knows her stuff inside and out. She really seeks to fine tune your hormones to get them to optimal levels, so that you can feel and look your best.
She knows her stuff better than any endocrinologist I've ever come across. She took one look at my lab values and immediately explained to me that my prolactin levels were not optimal (even though other doctors considered me to be within the "normal" range), caused by my elevated TSH (the indicator of hypothyroidism), which is what was causing my severe fibrocystic breast lumps. She prescribed the right medications, at the correct dosages and my fibrocystic breast lumps are gone! My PMS has improved, my thyroid is getting back to normal, and all of my symptoms have improved.
Dr. Eva also takes a good look at your nutritional status, and identifies any vitamin and nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your symptoms. This is a test that I highly recommend, you can ask her for it. So many diseases are caused from long term nutritional deficiencies, and you really need to know where you stand. She discovered that I suffered from low iodine, a b12 deficiency, and folate deficiency. Once I was able to work at correcting these my life has improved dramatically. The severe depression and fatigue that had been plaguing me, vanished once I got my b12 levels up. I had no idea that something physically was going on with me to cause the depression!
If you suffer from hormonal issues of any kind, then I highly recommend making an appointment with her. Do not waste your time and money with other endocrinologists like I did. They will only seek to get you within a standard "normal" range, not your optimal range, and dismiss your complaints when they don't understand them. Dr. Eva listens to you, and she will get you dialed in to exactly where you need to be.
God bless Dr. Eva! read more
