I've been at Stanford since March. I was referred by an ENT to an ENT at Stanford. I have been a patient in their Pain Clinic since May.
They have a number to call for admittance and then they route you to the correct department. I think if you are referred by an outside Doctor, you can get an appointment sooner. If you go on your own, it seems to take a long time.
FYI: I am NOT impressed with their ability to process paperwork, return phone calls, set up appointments, etc. When I look for a Thyroid Doctor, I will look to UCSF, not Stanford.
Thanks for the info. Then stanford is not the right choice for me. My endocrinologist in camino medical doesn't want to do anything with my 4cm nodule so I am thinking of seeing a doc in stanford.
UCSF, will be far from my home. I again came to my starting point....This nodule is so frustrating and I don't know what to do.
Thank you for the response.
