It seems that thyroid.about is discontinuing it's Top Doc listings (although it still says that updated lists will be posted in Fall 2001).

There wasn't much on Iowa in the cached version I found:


<B>From Thyroid.About.com:
IOWA(last updated April 2001)</B>

<B>Des Moines</B>
Dr. Brad Smith, surgeon.

<B>Iowa City</B>
Dr. Thomas O'dorisio, endocrinologist.
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, IA.

A reader tells us, “He not only listens but knows why you feel the way you do. Dr. O’Do is the greatest.”


<B>Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Iowa</B>
A reader writes: "In the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area of Iowa there are no endocrinologists, to my knowledge, unless someone has just set up practice. Dr. Annie Kontos is a very good general practitioner and it is reported that Cherie Bennet, an internal specialist, is very good and actually listens to her patients."




<B>The American Assn of Clinical Endocrinologists</B> (http://www.aace.com/memsearch.php?action=doSrch) lists the following Endos specializing in Thyroid Disfunction, although none specifically in your area. And it's just listings, NOT patient recommendations. Go to the link for directions, etc. (I only typed in the state, as there were no entries when I included a city.)

Most of the other sites with referrals don't seem to have info for Iowa, but maybe these will be some new names for you to interview if they're not too far away.

Hope this helps, Spirit. Hang in there. Your persistence will eventually pay off.

Please delete business address/phone info before posting ONLY the names, cities and states.
Thank you.
