When Your Labs Are 'Normal' But You Still Feel Off
This is one of the most common situations we see. TSH within range doesn't always mean your thyroid is functioning optimally for you. Dr. Al-Zougbi takes the time to evaluate your full clinical picture — symptoms, labs, history, and preferences — to determine whether your treatment needs adjustment.
Thyroid Nodule Evaluation
If you've been told you have a thyroid nodule, we can evaluate it with appropriate imaging and determine whether a biopsy is needed. Not all nodules require treatment — but all of them deserve proper monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm on levothyroxine but still feel tired. Can you help?
A: Yes. This is a common concern. Dr. Al-Zougbi will evaluate your current regimen, symptoms, and labs to determine if adjustments — including different formulations — might help.
Q: What's the difference between T3 and T4 thyroid hormone?
A: T4 (levothyroxine) is the standard treatment for hypothyroidism. Some patients may benefit from T3 supplementation. This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Q: Do you see patients with thyroid cancer?
A: Yes. We provide follow-up care for thyroid cancer patients, including monitoring and thyroid hormone management after surgery.
