Found a Great Endo in S. Jersey!!!

4+ years of suffering and looking and I finally found an Endo WHO GETS IT!!!!  For any of you South Jersey people,  his name is Dr. Joe Fallon and he has offices in Voorhees and Woodbury.  The only bad things are: It is a 7 month wait for an appointment and he doesn't take insurance, only checks or cash (if you have insurance they give you a completed form to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement).  I had to wait in the waiting room for 1-1/2 hours past my appt time but he spent 1-1/2 hours with me, was very thorough, explained everything (didn't want to tell him I had already learned it all on this forum LOL), took one look at my past labs and immediately said I needed an increase in my meds (Synthroid and Cytomel).  Whereas, other doctors kept dropping my doses because they didn't know that the Cytomel causes the TSH to be very low (aka useless) and that they need to use the free T3 and free T4 results to determine the correct med doses (mine were both very low).  He was very open to suggestions I had and agreed to all of them.  AND, he has a sense of humor!!  My daughter also has hashi's and I made an appt for her while I was still there.  Even though I had to wait 7 months to get an appt, waited 1-1/2 hours to see him and paid $270 for the first visit ($85 future visits) IT WAS SOOOO WORTH IT - I was smiling for days afterwards!

Thank you so much.  I really hope that others from my area that are still looking for good thyroid care will see my post.
