I need some recommendations for an Internist/Thyroid Doctors.
Thanks
I have been seeing Dr. Gorka Zurinaga in Roswell for my hypothyroidism ###-###-####). He is a great interenist that specializes in issues of thyroid. I have also seen Dr. Ernest Beasley Jr. (make sure it is JUNIOR as his Dad is also there), an endocronologist in the Northside hospital area who I really liked as well. I was recommended to see him by my OBGYN when I needed a biopsy after a bad ultrasound. Depends on where you live!
Dr. Kate Wheeler is a great internist/endocrinologist. She's part of the Laureate Medical Group at Crawford Long. The number is ###-###-####. She has helped me with several issues related to my thyroid.
My husband sees Dr. Carol Greenlee for his Hashimotos. She's at Piedmont Hospital.
Dr. Donahue in Canton (off sixes road, ###-###-####) is an excellent doctor and works with thyroid problems. Even if it is not real close to you, I would recommend you give him a try. He has worked better for my friend than any she has found (and she is a searcher).

Hi H.,
While I don't have a recommendation on what doctor to use I do have one on what doctor NOT to use. I was seeing Dr. Victor Silverman (Center for Metabolism, Endocrinology and Diabetes-over by Northside and St. Joseph's hospitals)for my Hyperthyroidism/Hashimotos and at first visit I liked him a lot. He seemed very attentive and concerned. However, all follow-up visits were not as good. He always seemed distracted and in a hurry. Another reason is the staff there. It is absolutely horrendous trying to get a call back or any assistance from them. The minimum I've had to wait on a call-back was 3 days and have waited even up to 2 weeks (of which I called several times and complained about the wait). Then when I tried to get a copy of my records so I could take them with me to a new doctor, I waited a little over 2 weeks for that. I definitely would NOT recommend them!!! My neighbor used to use them as well for her diabetes and has since changed due to the same reasons I mentioned. Please let us know who you find and what you think of them as I am still looking for another doctor myself. Good luck in your search for a new doctor!
