I am wondering if anyone would have a recommendation for a Grave’s disease specialist in Wisconsin? I have recently been diagnosed and referred to the one and only endocrinologist in the Aurora/Baycare hospital system. He doesn’t appear to have a thyroid focus and that scares me. I’d rather start off on the right foot. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there,

We can’t post names of physicians here, but people may send you private messages with doctor’s names they recommend. There is a search engine in the American Thyroid Association website (we used to link to it on the main page, but that’s under construction and rather bare-bones right now, so here’s a link to that search page http://www.thyroid.org/patients/specialists.php). They dont specifically guarantee the doctors’ level of care, but they’re identified as thyroid specialists, and they’re taking new patients, so that’s a start. You may want to gather several names and call the office staff to get some overall idea of how the office is run and what they think of the doctor there. Those can be good hints for you, before taking the time to register with a new doctor’s office.

The University of Wisconsin has a good thyroid unit.

I live in Madison and have found that most MD’s here specialize in Diabetes, not thyroid issues. IF someone has specific MD names, please email me directly. Thank you!
