Find a Thyroid Doctor (Patient-Recommended) | Dr. Westin Childs

Find a Thyroid Doctor

These aren’t your typical endocrinologists. Most doctors check your TSH, call it normal, and send you home. The providers on this list were chosen because they practice differently: full thyroid panels, optimal ranges, and openness to medications like NDT and T3 when they make sense.

3Know a good one? Recommend your provider so the next patient can skip years of being told their labs are normal.

Where do you live?

The number on each state is how many vetted providers are listed there. Empty states still have telehealth options. What do the badges mean?

What the badges mean
Tests reverse T3their own site says they test reverse T3, the marker most doctors skip
Tests free T3they test the active thyroid hormone, not just TSH
Prescribes NDTopen to natural desiccated thyroid like Armour or NP Thyroid
Prescribes T3 (Cytomel)open to T3 medication when conversion is the problem
Sustained-release T3works with compounding pharmacies for slow-release T3 when regular Cytomel is too fast
Tirosint / liquid T4 friendlyopen to clean T4 options for people who react to the fillers in standard levothyroxine
Pregnancy thyroid caremanages thyroid through pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility work

Public Rx recordsthis provider appears in federal Medicare prescribing data as one of the highest-volume prescribers of desiccated thyroid in the country. That tells you they’re open to NDT and T3. It does not tell you how they practice, so ask
Thyroidgray badges show the practice’s focus areas, like thyroid, hormones, diabetes, or gut health

Every badge comes from the provider’s own published approach, from reviewed patient reports, or from public federal prescribing data, with the date and source saved. A missing badge just means we haven’t confirmed it yet. One note on provider types: DCs (chiropractors), RDNs (dietitians), and health coaches generally can’t write prescriptions, which is exactly what the prescriber filter is for.

Why I Created This Directory

Thyroid patients often need more care than they get from standard family practitioners and endocrinologists. Why? Most thyroid patients, in order to feel better, need a doctor who’s willing to look beyond just the TSH and free T4.

This directory was created to find the doctors who do just that.

Every doctor here was checked for how they actually practice: whether they test the full thyroid panel (free T3, reverse T3, and antibodies), whether they treat to optimal ranges instead of just normal ranges, and whether they stay open to medications like NDT and T3 when they make sense.

Don’t See Your Doctor?

If you have a doctor who does thyroid care the right way, recommend them here. It takes about two minutes and it helps the next patient skip years of being told their labs are normal.

And if your state looks empty, check the telehealth filter. Many of the best thyroid doctors now see patients in most states online.
