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

Recommended by patientsreal nominations reviewed by a human
Accepts insurancetheir site says they take insurance; Cash-pay means they are direct pay, often with a superbill you can submit yourself
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.

What to Look For in a California Thyroid Doctor

The credential matters less than the approach. What you want is a doctor who orders the full thyroid panel (free T3, reverse T3, and antibodies, not just TSH), who treats to optimal ranges instead of just normal ranges, and who stays open to medications like NDT and T3 when they make sense.

Every doctor listed above was vetted for exactly those things. The badges on each card come from the doctor’s own published approach and from reviewed patient nominations, and no doctor can pay to appear here.
