Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awful
Was recommended to see him after I was diagnosed with a goiter. Even though I had every symptom of hypothyroidism and a goiter, he said it was “all in my head” and the reason I couldn’t lose weight was because I was “exercising too much”. Later learned that a coworker saw him too and her experience was even worse than mine. Would give zero stars if I could.

I have been a patient of Dr. Myers for over 20 years for hypothyroid disease and he is an EXCELLENT doctor! I was referred by my gynecologist because her daughter went to him and said he was a good doctor. I agree, he is a good doctor and over the years I trust his expertise and value his opinion. My first appointment with Dr. Myers didn’t go as planned because I showed him a few Internet articles on hypothyroidism (like I’m a doctor, which I’m not) and asked if he agreed with them , however, he told me that if I wanted an Internet Dr. why did I bother coming to see him...he was absolutely right. So, some may think his bedside manner is non-existent, but I’m not paying him to be my friend, I need his expertise and years of experience. He has given me the gift of health for over 20 years and for that I am truly grateful.

I have been going to him for several years now. Never spends more than 3 mins talking or listening to what I have to say about how I'm feeling. After today, I am moving on from him. Time to find a good doctor who cares!

I had been referred to this Dr. Twice in the past. The 1st time I saw him for my thyroid & was as personable as a rock. A few years later my Dr. sent me back to him for low T & he prescribed meds but said not to take them till my blood test came back. I had to email him to see about the tests & he said don't fill the script. On my followup visit he asked how the meds were doing & I told him I didn't fill the script. He said why not & I said you told me not to. He had no idea what he was doing!

He was the worst doctor! I agree with the only other review that he received! Stay away from this idiot! He was not compassionate, caring, informative or very helpful! He should not specialized in this field, he should have maybe been a vet. He was so cold and uncaring to my needs and he did not listen to me! I had my thyroid radiated out by this person and I so wished I would have gotten a second opinion!
