Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid disorders can affect energy, weight, heart rate, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, digestion, mood and temperature tolerance. We evaluate and manage hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, subacute and postpartum thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, goitre, thyroid nodules and abnormal thyroid-function tests. Care includes careful interpretation of thyroid reports, assessment of symptoms, medication initiation or adjustment, monitoring during pregnancy and evaluation of nodules where required. Because symptoms such as tiredness, weight change and hair loss are not always caused by the thyroid, we focus on confirming the diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary treatment or supplementation.
