OREGONIANS - any good thyroid doctors here?

[goolarra]

I live in Central Oregon and need a new thyroid doctor.  Any recommendations out there?  I'd prefer the Bend area, but would definitely consider "the valley", especially Eugene or Portland.  I have no preference as to specialty or lack thereof.  However, I do want to stay in the "mainstream" for the moment - a DO or MD.  Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions.  I did go to the health pages and got a list of 5 endos in the entire state (I know there are lots more than that).  It's just a laundry list, doesn't come with any patient recommendations, which I would like to see.  I know one patient's heaven can be the next one's hell, but there's still some valueable information in opinions as long as they're recognized as such.

I appreciate your help.  I'm still hoping to hear from some fellow Oregonians.  I can't be the only hypo here (no two ways about that).  Can I be the only Oregonian on this forum?

There are three sites listed on the Health Pages. 2 of them are direct connection with the one I gave you

I had not looked at the last one - so maybe you may find more info there.

If you go to the health pages (top of page on right) you will find a thread that says "find a doctor" or something like that. It has a link to a site that may help you, or it may be a site you have alreadt tried.

Thanks for the suggestion - I have done that.  Only one, a naturopath, in central Oregon, a few in the rest of the state, an overwhelming number also naturopaths.  I'm not quite ready to go that route yet.

There must be other Oregonians out there!

I don't live there but you may find gret information if you google top thyroid doctor directory on the about.com site

I found mine there.
