Thyroid

"I have a thyroid issue since 2002. I switched couple doctors all were the same. They were checking my blood work and prescribe the exact same medicine every visit. But Dr Jennifer Thieman is different and changed my life 3 years ago. At every visit she gave me print outs comparing with my last year blood work result and discuss what is my problem, how it can be improved, explain all my question, listen to me and try to help me. She is my Angel! Thank you Dr Thieman!"
