This woman literally saved my life.
I knew I had a thyroid problem in years past, but just one year prior to visiting Dr. Sinaee, a previous doctor in SF told me my thyroid was fine ... if not a bit overactive whereas before it was hypo or under-active.
I went in to Dr. Sinaee to see what could be done about my lack of energy, crazy weight gain and bouts of crying that I could not seem to get under control. I thought for sure I was going to need some happy pills, something I did not want to do.
This is the part where I start to cry ... not from depression or sadness but from her steadfast and stoic-ness. She wanted to wait until the test came back until she prescribed anything. The test came back quickly and she diagnosed me with having the lowest functioning thyroid she had seen in her years of medicine. Yay!!!! There was something actually, technically wrong with me!!! (And it wasn't a brain tumor ... as another doctor had feared.) She also told me no, no happy pills for you at this time.
In less than a month I was back to my old self again! She was so right ... about everything.
I report today that I am the vision of health and happiness. I am also about 20 lbs less than my peak weight and am full of get up and go.
She isn't over the top nice or demonstrative, but she is GOOD and not too judgmental. She will, however, cluck at you a bit if you are not doing everything in your power to be and stay healthy. She has a quiet, but deeply caring way about her that you know you can trust. And ... she's not a snob! I know this because I caught her shopping at the dollar store! C'mon, who doesn't love stuff for a dollar? Cheap retail therapy folks. read more
