I have been working with Dr. Meyers for well over ten years. Dr. Meyers has always made me feel comfortable and she's comprehensive in her approach. If there are concerns, it is easy to relate them to her. She demonstrates a very proactive approach and the end results are always favorable. I will always reach out her always! She's the only doctor in this field that seem to know what the hell their talking about! Kudos to Dr. Meyers... many thanks! read more

I had a thyroid storm in may of 2008 and ended up at St. Mary's. The consult specialist (endocrinologist) was Dr Myers. In the beginning she was nice, sort of reminded me of my mother so I started to see her. Her receptionist is a problem. I managed to get on her good side, but in the beginning, after having been just released from the hospital, she said I'd have to wait at least 2 weeks. Then the doctor told me I shouldn't have waited (uhhh?). It got progressively worse after that. It seems Ann is the chairman of the local (or state?) endocrinologist board of specialists, so I sort of get the impression she's off stroking her ego rather than seeing her patients. She's often out of the office on vacations or trips and really does an incredibly poor job of finding someone to backfill. When she is in the office, she's booked solid and pretty much unavailable. I went to see my primary care doctor about something else and interestingly he knew far more about thyroid issues than Ann has ever illustrated. Bottom line: she's just unavailable, her assistant is a poor communicator and generally overwhelmed with everything, the entire practice is highly inflexible (won't email test results, won't have phone consults, must have appt for everything but never available). Plus she's sort of strange. She pulled a "I know you don't believe it, but you WILL get better" (and actually, I *did* believe I was going to get better... it's a highly treatable condition. Of course, after she did that over and over again I started to worry). read more

The least helpful doctor I've ever seen, I was told that Dr. Myers is "one of the best endocrinologists in SF"; she sucks. Didn't seem interested in my symptoms and went off on a wild and irrelevant tangent about Hilary Clinton. (Yeah, I don't get it either.) Basically disregarded my very real signs and symptoms and tried to reenact the "it's not your fault scene" from Good Will Hunting with me. Ummm... I know it's not my fault. I wanted tests. Preferably a diagnosis but a self-effacing "I don't know" and an idea on who to turn to next would have sufficed. Nope. I got the run-around, wasted about a month while my condition got worse, and am more scared and frustrated than before I went to see her. (would have given her zero stars... but Yelp wouldn't let me.) *impossible to get in touch with *assistant routinely conveyed wrong information (from me to doctor, from doctor to me) *refused to review test results over the phone *insisted on an appointment but had no openings *eventually left me a voicemail saying "the tests are normal"... i mean, really? why did I need to come in then? read more

I began seeing Dr. Myers when her partner, Dr. Michenfelder, retired. I loved Dr, Michenfelder and now understand why he and Dr. Myers had such a good professional partnership - the practice is caring and is concerned with the patient's total health, not just with which ever ailment they are treating. I always feel as though Dr. Myers is willing to listen to all of my questions and concerns and will spend as much time with me as I need. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Myers to anyone. read more

I normally don't go out of my way to review doctors, but Dr. Ann Myers is the best doctor I've had in my 22 years with diabetes. The negative posters must be experiencing something different, but she's a great communicator. Helpful with all aspects of health including personalized treatment, health insurance concerns, tests, etc. read more

I love Dr. Myers! I've been her patient for almost 10 years now. Although I no longer live in the City, I will make the trek from the South Bay, because she listens. When I was first diagnosed with my health issue, I told her that I wanted to keep whatever was working. My other medical providers told me to get it removed. She put me on a plan and it's worked like a charm. I see her every quarter to have my levels checks and adjust my dosages, if needed. Since Yolanda, her front office person of many years, left, there's been some difficulty in finding a replacement. So the office hasn't been running as smoothly as it has in the past. To get the most of your appointments with Dr. Myers, here's a few hints. Don't call expecting an immediate appointment. She is always booked, but see if you can get a cancellation. Get your bloodwork done a week in advance and let the receptionist know you did when you check in for your appointment. Fill out the questionnaire. It really does help direct the time to your most pressing issues. In the end, the best way to see if Dr. Myers is the best doctor for you is to see her. read more

My husband was diagnosed with Hashimotos disease by Dr. Myers apparently it is very rare in men. Dr. Myers made the diagnosis after all the Endocrinologist in our area just wanted to treat my husband with Synthroid he kept having problems with his meds and Dr. Myers listened to his concerns she had him go through some extensive lab work & sure enough she found the disease. She also has excellent bedside manners. I recommend Dr Myers for All thyroid issues. read more

I acutally give Dr. Myers ZERO stars. DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR!!!! I went to Dr. Myers for my thyroid disorder. She constantly dismissed my symptoms as nothing or "possibly related to other things such as pregnancy". The last month I saw her, she prescribed me an alternative medication called Armour Thyroid. She MISWROTE the prescription and I apparantly was taking DOUBLE the dose I was supposed to take b/c of her inaccuracies. My pharmacist even CALLED her about it to say "hey, I think you wrote too strong of a prescription for her (given the dose of Synthroid I was taking before)". She totally ignored him (without checking) and said "no, that is right". After I started the new meds, my heart started palpitating and I was losing weight and hair like crazy. It is a good thing I am healthy, or I easily could have had a heart attack. I am with a new doctor now for my condition, and I am feeling much better. I plan on reporting Dr. Myers to the AMA to make others aware of her horrible practice. It is absolutely inexcusable that she miswrote a prescription, after all that is one of the most simple tasks a physician can do. read more

Difficult to get a hold of. Does not answer email or give out her email address. Always seems more busy with other things then to have time to take a moment to talk to you. Initially I liked her based on her manor, but the longer she was my doctor, the less I felt like she actually cared. I have had serious conversations with her colleagues who confirm that her sense of ethics and responsibility to her patients is appalling and arguably negligent. For brevity I will spare you the lengthy accounts, but putting my medical care in her hands was one of the most costly mistakes I have ever made in my own life. She put my life in danger needlessly and I have reported her to the AMA, which was not an act I took lightly. I went to her because my low-income health care would cover her and she is single handedly the reason I have had to upgrade my health care options. Sadly, you definitely get what you pay for. I agree with other posters, her receptionist is a problem. read more

Dr. Myers made me wait for about 45 minutes before she even came into the room. She seemed spaced out and disinterested. She was reading from the chart on her lap and actually said to me, "well, you're not HORRIBLY overweight..." (I weigh 120 and am 5'9"). So this appointment wasn't exactly going well for me. After talking to me for about 30 minutes regarding my test results- she realized she had grabbed the wrong chart. I consider this appointment a complete waste of time and money. I got nothing positive from it...except knowing who not to see next time. read more

Maybe I just want revenge with this woman. It's been 20 years since I went to her office with symptoms of extreme fatigue. My blood work had already been sent over by my internist. This woman looked at me and told me that I was just bored... My labs showed thyroid antibodies over 3,000 and she was telling me that I'm bored? I worked in television had a great job that I loved and fought extreme fatigue everyday and this was her diagnosis. Took me years to straighten out my health because of her misdiagnosis. I've seen so many doctors regarding Hashimoto's disease and they know nothing. Thyroid disease is Hashimoto's or Graves. It's epidemic. I would advise that anyone seek out another doctor. Functional M.D.s are a better bet. read more

I saw Dr. Myers on a referral from my local doctor. I was disappointed with my experience as I had heard good things about her in the past. I got nothing out of my very short appointment, but figured she was just having a bad day. She never returned any of the calls from myself, my referring physician or the thyroid surgeon at UCSF over the course of the next several months. This was both on her cell and office lines. I never heard from her again and was left confused as to the whole situation. I had heard good things about her from others, but didn't have the same experience as they did. Please don't interpret this review to say she's not a good or qualified doctor. My experience with her was so limited, I have no way to comment on that aspect of her practice. read more

I would have to agree with the other negative reviews here. I was a patient of Dr. Myers from 1999, post-thyroidectomy, to about 2014. She kept me on a high dose of medication (synthroid) for far too long, such that I was continually stressed out, overreacting (hyper), my heart racing. I went to the ER twice, thinking I was having a heart attack! I was not fun to be around, feeling always very stressed out and overreactiong emotionally. She recommended I research ways to reduce my stress ( I'm a massage therapist, hello?) and also recommended I read a fun and relaxing nature writer she was enjoying at the moment. Not exactly scientific. Finally, Dr. Myers no longer accepted my insurance, so I found another doctor. Voila: upon hearing my symptoms, this nurturing, new, young doctor lowered my meciation dosage by 100 mg -- and I was finally able to relax, sleep better, heart palpitations gone. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Myers for almost 20 years. I can't think of even one negative thing to say about her or her staff. The only explanation I can think of that would bring on these negative reviews is that Dr. Myers is experienced and probably used to people wanting to blame symptoms on thyroid disorder instead of dealing with them with diet, exercise, and stress management. I've been there myself, hoping that a dosage change would improve things for me, but she was right each time that it was not thyroid related. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Shue in this practice for about a year, and I have nothing but GREAT things to say about her and everyone else at this office. read more

Dr. Myers is very good. She is very caring and will always make time for patients. She helped me with a pretty rare adrenal disorder, and then again with diabetes. Her personality is great too. read more

Dr. Myers is probably the best doctor i have ever seen. She took time to explain what waswrong, what we were going to do together to treat me and restore my health. She is kind, caring, knowledgable and open to discussion. I have never personally experienced any problems or issues with Dr. Myers or her office, so I think these people either didn't listen to what they were being told or they just didn't want to face their problem. I would recommend Dr. Myers and have recommened her to a close friend that had a serious pancreas issue she was able to treat. I have seen her at all hours of the day and she was plesant no matter the hour. She is well worth the time. Thank you so much Dr. Myers!!! read more

Excellent doctor, front desk staff very pleasant and helpful Dr Myers is very thorough and listens, takes her time in explaining treatment options. She knows her field! read more

Dr Myers is a life saver. I was in a fragile and very ill place when I saw her and she went above and beyond to help me with all of my paperwork and my ills. She is compassionate, thoughtful. very knowledgeable and thorough. And, she knows Type 1 Diabetes through and through. I can never ever repay her for all that she has done for me. Consider yourself lucky to have her on your team. read more

I went to see Ann Myers 5 years ago when I was first diagnosed with Graves disease. She came highly recommended from my PCP. She seemed pleasant at first, but when I started asking her some questions, she seemed annoyed. Rather than take the time to answer my questions, she handed me some information pamphlets instead. I felt brushed off as if my illness was just another statistic. If I wanted to read up on it, I could have researched it myself! Thinking she had a bad day, I too, continued seeing her for the next several months. Again, she was very nonchalant about everything. As I continued to progress, I still had questions along the way. One day, she just said "I can't give you the answers you want to hear". I'm like, you never gave me any answers at all!!! Needless to say, I changed my doctor after that. Dr. Myers seems to be highly respected in her field. It's unfortunate that her bedside manners leaves little to be desired. Her approach is almost cold, or rather, after so many years of experience, it's become very "routine" to her that she seems to be unrelatable to her patients. Sad for someone who is highly respected in her field. I wish I had a better experience. read more

Dr Anne Myers is the best doctor I have ever been treated by, and I have been treated by many, far too many. She is a wonderful and compassionate person, and totally competent and up-to-date doctor. The Best. read more

I acted as a patient advocate for a patient of Dr. Meyers, had multiple interactions with her and have since been working with the California medical board to have her license revoked. She is abusive and not interested in health care. She is uninformed and does not keep up with current medical practices. She prescribed an Insulin pump to a patient, then recommended a newer pump she had no information on, the newer pump was failing and she would not return calls, take appointments, or discuss the issues with patient. The hospital had to intervene. The second pump nearly killed my client and Dr. Meyers response was "well have you been to the emergency room? I don't think so, so it's not serious" to which we had to inform her he had been to the emergency room. When we looked for a new prescription to return to the previous pump Dr. Meyers refused to prescribe stating she was not "willing to do anything until he (the paitent) learned to play ball" which meant he needed to endure months of food logging and data gathering that had he done twice prior to qualify. She prescribed him a long acting insulin that was noted in his charts to have serious adverse effects with his system, that nearly killed him. She continued to lose paperwork and claim it was the patients fault. She insulted him regularly saying "I don't know if I can prescribe you a pump, I may not feel you can work complicated machinery" again after two pumps. She consistently overcharged him for tests not done. Finally the patient had to go out of his insurance to find a doctor that cared and knew his job. Out of pocket paid. Dr Meyers is a hazard, she should not be practicing medicine. read more

Dr. Myers has a wonderful beside manner and she really listens to her patients. I could see why some patients may be turned off to her because she is very direct and has a dry sense of humor. If there is a serious change in my health from lab work she will call me immediately. The Lab Corp (blood lab), people all know her due to all the lab work she will have done to make sure it is the correct diagnosis. So if you don't like needles don't go to see her then. I have been diabetic type 1 for 39 years and she is one of the best endocrinologists I have ever seen. I was also diagnosed with Graves disease 3 years ago too. When I moved from Seattle to San Francisco 16 years ago I called up the local American Diabetic Association to ask for endocrinologists in the area and specifically ones who are great. The lady helping me said she wasn't supposed to do this but she recommended Dr. Myers. The rest has been history. She does not and will not treat you like a child who can't do this or can't do that due to what life has thrown at you. In regards to all of her receptionists and nurses aides they have all been wonderful except for Yolanda and Esther. I came seriously close to stop seeing Dr. Myers due to those two, very inept and pushing their job back onto you the patient. But they are both gone now and Brandon and the other lady (I don't know her name.), are very attentive, caring, and on top of their game. I highly recommend Dr. Myers to anyone with a endocrine system issue. And as for calling the AMA up to revoke her license per some of these other posts I don't know what to say except for there are a lot of difficult patients out there too. As for making an appointment there can be a long waiting time due to her popularity but if you need to get in to see her sooner the waiting list in case of cancellations has always worked for me and getting her an urgent message too. Also the FollowMyHealth Portal works too for sending her emails if one has a problem or question. You will have to ask the receptionist to be signed up for it. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Myers for over 5 years. She listens and will work with you. I live in Las Vegas and 2-3 times a year I fly up for the day to see her. The doctors here with my thyroid being killed by radiation therapy would look at my blood work and it would vary every 3 months. One time saying I was hyperthyroid the next hypothyroid so they were forever changing my dosage of medication. I found where it worked and could not get a Rx from my doctor for that dosage because it was reading hyper that month. Dr. Myers made me have a bone density test and as long as that is OK she is OK, although not entirely happy, with me staying on the dosage that makes me feel best. I am 68 and my bone density was that of a 30 year old in the spine and 35 in the hips. She also discovered my lack of vitamin D which I have been taking for at least 3 years 100,000 units per month just to stay within normal range. That made a big difference in my energy level. I also developed diabetes for which she has started treating me, mostly with diet and a 1/2 of the lowest dose pill. She is the best. read more
