Carol J Thomas, MD

If you want an outstanding and knowledgeable doctor who takes the time with you to listen as well as help you navigate your way through the most difficult medical problems and start feeling better, then Dr. Thomas is the right choice!

While the others reviews are valid, it’s not the full picture. Sure, she will spend the time with you… She’s billing you for it at an outrageous price!!! She DOES NOT take insurance so she can spend more time and charge whatever she wants.
She is a very nice woman, yet NEVER resolved my symptoms and basically made me feel like I was incorrect for saying they were related to my hypothyroid. She refused to agree to switch my medications to one I heard could help me (NDT), never advised me that I didn’t have an auto-​immune disease (which could be resolved by adding minerals), didn’t catch that I was anemic/​iron deficient (common issue with hypo) and had stage 1 adrenal fatigue (again, very common with hypo). These could have been addressed years ago when I started going to her if she ordered the right tests… But all she cared about was T4. She actually had the nerve to tell me my levels were good so maybe I had Fibromyalgia. Like all my issues weren’t caused by Synthroid and my thyroid?!? Fibromyalgia …
She’s not the only Endo that overlooks these issues, but she is the most expensive one … For shame on all of them for not helping thyroid issues the way they should be … I expected more from her. If you have Hypo, may I suggest what I have done and feel so much better… Go see a Naturopathic Doctor who will treat your symptoms and find easy solutions, like adding Magnesium, Selenium and Iron to your supplements and change your meds to natural desiccated thyroid (NDT).
After years of struggling with my weight, at 32 I was diagnosed as hypo and over a decade of being on Synthroid I had accumulated multiple issues (candida, stage 1 adrenal fatigue, anemic, insomniac, itchy scalp, restless legs and arm pains, allergic to most food I was eating, alpha and game strep)… Once I got on the NatureThroid (which Dr. Thomas refused multiple times) and added back essential nutrients I started feeling like the old me again! Pricey doctors that don’t take insurance… Big waste of my time and money.

Outstanding doctor. Have been going to her for endocrinology etc. issues for a few years first as a second opinion from another local endo. Actually still go to both but much prefer Dr. Thomas, other doctor seems to be a bit more aggressive in treating weight/​has hookups on samples and once that is resolved will transition. Dr. Thomas has excellent bedside manner, it feels like an old school practice, and I never feel rushed or never even get the sense that SHE is ever rushed and doesn’t want to see me. She promptly returns phone calls herself as well. She’s trustworthy and knowledgable. highly recommended.

Dr Thomas is wonderful. She does not take insurance, but instead charges by the amount of time she spends with you. So, you are not stuck into a 15 minute slot and shoved out the door. The last time I went to see her I was so overwhelmed with a number of factors in my life that her sheer kindness set me to bawling, and before I left her office she was able to not only help me with the details of my appointment, but also set me on track to feeling more positive about those other issues as well. Two thumbs up :)

Outstanding knowledgable old– school up tto date Endocrinologist with great bedside manner, who knows how to listen. Goes the extra mile. Does not accept insurance but will give you list of your billing codes so you can submit your own. Prices are higher than in an HMO, but you get what you pay for.

Dr. Thomas is knowledeable, insightful and a great doctor. She has helped me solve hormonal and other mysteries with patience and great follow up. She spends enough time with you to make sure she has extracted all relevant info from you, even things you did not think were significant. Very highly recommended

I could not agree more with the other posters, and no I am not her mother or her sister or her best friend. :) She is seriously the best doctor my fiancé and I have ever been to – super thorough, absolutely whip smart, and we always have felt that she was paying attention and listening to us. We continue to see her even though she is out of our network just because paying more for excellent care ultimately is a billion times better than cheap care lousy service. I hope Dr. Thomas never retires.

I’ve been with Dr. Thomas several years — through 3 or 4 moves of her office. Initially I was thankful for the time she’d spend getting to the bottom of my fatigue. She also sent me to a specialist for fibromyalgia in 2009.
My biggest complaint is when you know you’re going to need a thyroid panel, you have to make a $ 250 appointment to get the lab order, understandable because she doesn’t want to miss anything, but then you also have to make another appointment to get the results, even when all is well. I wish they’d tell you when you’re lab numbers are off and what the concern is, rather than making you wait another two or three months for an appointment to get the lab results! I’ve gone through months of worry wondering what was wrong, only to finally get in there and be told all looks fine (then pay another $ 250!)! As a patient you have to be proactive here and call and call to get appointments, lab results, etc.
For as many years as I’ve gone to see Dr. Thomas each time she behaves as though we’re meeting for the first time wanting all my history again and again! «Who diagnosed your fibromyalgia?» «You did Doctor, 6 years ago» Even «Who diagnosed Hashimotos?» when she’s been treating me for it for years! Scary! She seems very preoccupied.
Sad to say but I would not recommend this office.

Dr. Carol Thomas is an outstanding physician! She spends a lot of time with patients and has structured her medical practice to be completely patient focused. Her assistants, Stacy and Emily, are very, very good and always helpful. Dr. Thomas is an expert in her field of endocrinology and metabolism and I give her my highest recommendation.

Dr. Thomas is terrific. She’s willing to spend as much time as you need, is very open to your input and ideas, and is always sympathetic. Her specialty is in endocrinology and metabolism. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.
