I've been seeing Dr. Rory Breidbart in Great Neck for a few months now. He has a great bedside manner and is very thorough. The phone # to his office is 516-482-0347.
HTH!

Before I got pregnant I use to see Dr. Herson but it sounds like you had a bad experience with him...just curious how can he say you have no issues if your thyroid levels are low? the results are based on blood levels.

ah well my tsh is always in range but my t3 and t4 intermitantly go below range and once upon a time I had thyroid antibodies as well..so previous endocrinologists had me on low doses of thyroid meds. when I moved ot long island peeps recd him and he disagreed with the previous doctors. he also did not think I had any hormonal issues based on blood tests....so I moved on from him...and within a year found out I was infertile due to major imbalances found in blood work..took 3 years to get pregnant and during that time my thyoid went hypo again and put on synthroid again. I think he looked at me and said aaah shes fat and has anxiety that's all it is.. lol he basically said when I showed him previous blood work that was out of range and he tested..that when the current tests were normal that there was no need for any treatment and it must have been a glitch in the past. eh he didn't want to listen I suppose to the patient and not just the current lab tests.
I know I hear good things about him. he at least when I saw him would only treat tsh over 10 as well...is that your experience with him? ty

I have hashimoto's thyroiditis so it is a bit more straight forward- my labs will occasionally show I need to have my synthroid increased but for the most part I am an easy case. Overall, I had a good experience with him- I actually started seeing him bc my former doctor retired and my sister highly recommend him. Sorry you had a bad experience with him. Hope you find someone good- maybe ask your OB for a recommendation since you have a history of PCOS.
