I highly recommend Dr. Laura Sample. She takes time to listen to my concerns. In fact, if I don't answer a question or haven't told her enough about how I'm feeling, she will wait a few minutes and come back to it, approaching the topic a different way. She is open to alternative medicine and will suggest several different ways to treat a symptom. If there is a vitamin or herb I could purchase inexpensively that will aid my treatment, she suggests it. If antibiotics are needed, she prescribes them, but starts with the mildest dosage and increases from there if needed. I appreciate this because I have strong reactions to antibiotics (diarrhea, yeast infections, bladder infections) and prefer to take as mild a dose as possible. My husband was having trouble losing weight. When he had tried the usual remedies, including cutting sugar, caffeine, and refined flour from his diet, walking several times a week for 30 minutes, and had hit a plateau for several months, Dr. Sample investigated several possible reasons. Her testing revealed low thyroid, low testosterone, and slightly high blood pressure, which are now being treated. Previous doctors, endocrinologists, and other specialists were unable to determine why my husband's energy level was so low. We're still working on dosages and hope to eliminate much of the medication he's taking once the weight comes off, but in the meantime, he's never felt better while losing weight!
