THYROID TREATMENT
We Are Thyroid Treatment Experts
and can accurately diagnose and treat under-active thyroid conditions
Correct thyroid treatment is vital, yet low-functioning thyroid has become all too common.
Our providers are highly trained and experienced at diagnosing thyroid issues and thyroid treatment. We use the latest medical diagnosis parameters and treatment protocols.
Many patients tell us they had their thyroid tested, and they were told it was normal. Meanwhile, they have all the symptoms of an under-active thyroid. This is usually because many doctors evaluate based on antiquated systems. It can be pretty frustrating.
It’s NOT normal to have low thyroid symptoms.
We’ve encountered quite a number of patients exhibiting symptoms of thyroid disorders who previously underwent testing, only to be reassured that everything is “normal” — when it’s clearly not.
Or in some instances, they were prescribed thyroid medication, but it did little or nothing to ease their symptoms. This is because there are newer, more custom prescription options that most doctors aren’t familiar with.
At our center, we are dedicated to addressing thyroid concerns with precision and effectiveness. Dr. Miskell prides herself as a thyroid doctor who can offer effective thyroid treatment at a better cost than most other clinics. She is board-certified and has spent over 20 years refining her Thyroid and Hormone Replacement Programs. We accept nothing less than a patient who is feeling good.
We can handle your thyroid imbalance, including hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease.
Personalized and accurate thyroid treatment usually leads to noticeable improvements for most patients within days or weeks of initiating the treatment.

Testimonial
"Just after the first visit, the difference in my energy level was amazing. I'm retired, and I found myself sitting on the couch and taking a nap during the day. After my first doctor visit and shot, I redid the whole front flower bed of my house in 2 days, which is something I couldn't have done even close to a month ago. The results were amazing. I feel like my old self again." - Sue G.

Getting Your Thyroid Treatment Right
The thyroid gland plays a pivotal role in regulating metabolism, body temperature, and various other bodily functions. Its influence extends to energy levels, body weight, and cognitive function.
The thyroid hormone serves a multifaceted purpose, aiding in the elimination of cellular waste, enhancing fat breakdown, promoting healthy hair growth, and reducing cholesterol levels and body weight. Crucially, it contributes to preventing cognitive deterioration.
In the realm of women’s health, thyroid hormone is indispensable for fertility. Surprisingly, many women undergoing costly infertility treatments may find that thyroid hormone replacement is the key to addressing their needs.
Our expertise encompasses the treatment of a diverse range of thyroid disorders, including:
- An under-active thyroid, Hypothyroidism.
- Hashimoto’s disease.
- Other thyroid disorders involving challenges in converting T4 into T3.
The most prevalent thyroid disorder we address is hypothyroidism — an underactive thyroid.
If you’re grappling with thyroid-related issues, we’re here to provide comprehensive and tailored solutions.
THYROID TREATMENT
Hashimoto's Disease
Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disorder, is a very common cause of hypothyroidism.
This autoimmune response is triggered by the body perceiving the thyroid gland as an invader, prompting the production of antibodies that launch an attack.
The consequences are twofold:
- A significant drop in thyroid hormone levels leads to hypothyroidism.
- The gland’s release of excess hormones causes hyperthyroidism spikes.
As the antibodies continue their assault, the thyroid may become depleted, further contributing to insufficient hormone production and hypothyroidism.
Affecting approximately 1 in 4 women, Hashimoto’s disease commonly manifests between ages 45 and 65. However, it can occur at other stages of life and can also affect men.
Detecting this condition accurately requires blood tests specifically looking for these antibodies. Most doctors rarely test for this and standard TSH tests won’t reveal the autoimmune aspect. We do test for this and can treat it.
Given its autoimmune nature, relying solely on medication for thyroid treatment may fall short of addressing Hashimoto’s comprehensively. The roots of this disorder may extend to deficiencies in Vitamin D, Cortisol, or DHEA, as well as low levels of iodine and selenium.
While treating it as hypothyroidism, it is also good to make some lifestyle changes as part of treatment.
