Suffolk, Va top thyroid MD search information... Well I got no hits or information on anyone in Suffolk. It appears to be a top thyroidd MD free town.

.
The Kaplan Clinic comes highly recommended for the state of VA, but this is northern Virginia. Two MDs of note that have worked or work for Kaplan are
Dr. Lisa Lilienfield, Kaplan Clinic, Arlington, VA
Two anon reviews "I have just started seeing Dr. Lisa Lilienfield, and I am so happy with her. She is very knowledgeable and thorough, and is careful to discuss what your other docs are doing with you. Like the other members of the Kaplan practice, she is trained in Osteopathy and Acupuncture, and has used both on me with good results already. Not only does she listen, she remembers....and that is very reassuring when you are faced with a health challenge."
"After years of thyroid hell with medications, and then ending up hyperthyroid, I am so thankful to have found Dr. Lisa Lilienfield at the Kaplan Clinic. She's the first doctor I've ever seen that actually knows something about the complexities of thyroid diseases. She listens and treats the whole person, and follows up consistently. I feel she really cares and for the first time I may actually get to the bottom of what has been going on with her help."
Another strong recommendation: Kate Lemmerman, MD, previously of Kaplan now with Steinmetz Steinmetz Medical, Alexandria, Virginia. Unfortunately northern location as well.
Ashburn
Dr. John T. Hart, Gynecology and Functional Medicine, Ashburn, Virginia "Specializes in Chronic Fatigue, Thyroid and Adrenal dysfunction, Fibromyalgia." Northern location near Alexandria.
Charlottesville MD slowly getting closer to Suffolk...

Dr. Alan Dalkin, Endocrinology, Charlottesville, VA
Reviews:
"He is a great listener. he looks at more than numbers. He prescribes Armour Thyroid. "
"He listens to patients. He prescribes Armour Thyroid. He is open to new ideas and research. I found him to be very likeable and easy to talk to. I recommend him as one of the Best docs at UVA medical center. "
Chesapeake, Va Doctor..
Dr. Papariello, general practice. He might work for day to day management.. not sure about his diagnostic potential...
Reviews:
"This doctor listened to me and allowed me to try another med which most doctors don’t like to prescribe...he saw how much Armour had changed how I felt...and he also was thrilled with the results...so he could advise other patients of the results with me."
"I was very impressed with this Dr's bedside manner. He actually pays attention to what you say. He takes his time with you, and doesn't act like you are taking up his time. They were very quick with lab results. His office also has a very relaxed atmosphere about it. I have even decided to switch my children over to his practice. And it was a quick turn around from getting an appointment."
Fairfax, VA Docs..
Dr. Kathleen Link, Pediatric Endocrinologist Fairfax, VA.
Reviews:
"My ten year old daughter is an insulin dependent diabetic and was diagnosed at age three. Since moving to VA three years ago she has been seeing Dr Link. She and I find Dr. Link to have an excellent understanding of what it means to be a diabetic child. She’s encouraging without being condescending and she’s forthright without being brutal. As we look forward to the rocky years ahead we feel confident that our daughters health and well being is just as important to Dr. Link as it is to us."
Dr Nahrain Al-zubaidi, Metabolism, diabetes, and endocrinology, Fairfax, VA
Reviews:
"Dr. Nahrain actually looked me in the eye and really assessed my symptoms. She never rushed me and took time to truly understand my health. After trying many different endocrinologist ( some rated top doctors in endocrinology) I found Dr. Al-Zubaidi to be the most caring the most consistently attentive doctor of the all. After my surgery I must have called her at least 5-6 times within a short period of time with questions and despite her busy schedule she always , always called me back no matter the time. Dr. Al-Zubaidi alwasy took my health as seriously as I did and never discounted my experience. I couldn't speak more highly of a doctor. If you want a caring doctor that is knowledgable and friendly I most certainly would recommend Dr. Al-Zubaidi."
"I came to Dr. Al-Zubaidi for help with treating my thyroid condition. I could not possibly recommend a Doctor more highly. Her office staff which I believe consists of two young ladies are extremely helpful, friendly and returned my calls promptly. Dr.Al-Zubaidi herself is pleasant and extremely knowledgeable in this area. She will never make you feel rushed or uneasy. All and all I am extremely thankful for finding her and will stay her patient forever."
Leon-Paul Georges, Endocrinology & Metabolism, The Diabetes Institutes and Center for Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA.
"He is a physician on the cutting edge of research and treatments at the Eastern Virginia Medical School."
My warning about this MD is that he may be tailored to a certain class of patients and only interested in seeing patients that meet with his current research protocols.
Virginia Beach MDs..
Dr. George Amberman, MD, Virginia Beach, Virginia "Special interest in thyroid disease and holistic alternatives."
Reviews:
"As a thyroid disease patient I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. George Amberman, MD. He is a very caring and compassionate physician who knows how to deal with the myriad of problems that can go along with thyroid disease. He keeps current on the latest treatment approaches with thyroid disease and listens to his patients. He invest time in his office visits and to help them regulate their thyroid levels to achieve optimal TSH levels. He understands that "a one size" treatment approach in dealing with this illness does not fit all. I have autoimmune thyroid disease and I have spoken and worked with Dr. Amberman over the years with referrals as a thyroid advocate. If you live in the Hampton Roads area (Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth or Hampton) Dr. Amberman is a physician you should see if you need a doctor to help regulate your levels, check you for thyroid disease."
"Great listener, Prescribes Armour OR whatever works best for patient. Very willing to help patient feel his/her best. Love him to death!!"
Okay I can not vouch personally for the southern MDs, but my Aunts MDs say that those are the better thyrid managers in that area. They do not follow the other MDS closely mind you, but they have heard some good things about them. SO that is all I could dig up. you might want to see what you can find out with a few target searches.
Good luck and keep me posted.
