Endocrinologists who are Physicians - Conroe, TX

"I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition over a year ago, yet I continue to be turned away by endocrinologists within the Methodist system. This is now the second time, most recently with Dr. Toma. (Third negative interaction at Methodist) Despite documented thyroid nodules confirmed by ultrasound and CT scan, I was told my “bloodwork wasn’t bad enough” to warrant specialty care. My primary care physician even stated this was inappropriate and referred me to Dr. Toma for further evaluation. I scheduled the appointment a month in advance, and to be prepared I had already arranged updated ultrasounds and blood work, knowing how long it takes to see a specialist. Yet, just two days before the visit, I was told Dr. Toma would not see me — again based solely on outdated labs from last year. What’s most concerning is that I wasn’t even given the opportunity to be evaluated in person. Endocrinology is supposed to manage thyroid disorders, yet my care was dismissed entirely on numbers alone — ignoring my diagnosis, my symptoms, and the updated testing I had already scheduled. It sends the message that unless a doctor can prescribe medication immediately, patients are not worth their time. As a patient, I have been proactive with my health, but it is unacceptable to be denied care in this way. This approach feels profit-driven rather than patient-centered. Patients deserve better."

"I was told there was nothing wrong with my thyroid, when I knew there was. Her Physicians Assistant gave me a copy of my blood work that clearly stated my TSH was low. However, she told me there was nothing wrong with my thyroid. She made me feel like I was a complete idiot. Well, I ended up in the emergency room on January 4, 2016 with my heart in AFIB. All test results pointed to my thyroid. I had hyperthyroidism. Yet, she told me there was nothing wrong with my thyroid. I would not recommend seeing this Doctor."

"I have been seeing Dr Thomas for nearly a decade. She is amazing. I will not switch providers as long as she is practicing within 100 miles of where I live. Her team is amazing and she is a great leader for them. Dr. Thomas has helped me gain control over my health and maintain control. I always feel encouraged that I am doing the right thing when I leave her office. And even when I am down on myself for having a bad test result, we talk it through and I still feel better than I would if I did not have her to explain it. I always recommend seeking out help when you need it and she will be the best option in the area."

"Dr. Vega has been my endocrinologist for over a decade. I have followed her to 3 different offices and every time I switch jobs I pick the insurance plan that has her as in-network provider. She is thorough and honestly the best doctor I have had in my lifetime. She asks new questions every time and always takes the time to answer all the questions I have about my thyroid disease."

"Dr. Butler is awesome! She is very understanding and patient. She takes the time to explain procedures and medications including side effects and her rationale for ordering them. She's also very empathetic and she smiles! I am grateful to have her as my Doctor! I highly recommend her!"

"Rude secretary who answer the phone Wrong info in website were states "accepting new patients""

"The Dr doesn’t do evaluations that what I’ve been told. So you have to go to her with a diagnosis in order to get an appointment. I had to go over my medical records with the assistant over the phone so she could determine I wasn’t elegible for an appointment. I have the type of insurance where you do not need an appointment but it looks that’s the only way you can go to see this doctor. "
