Dr. Savitha Shastry, MD

Dr Shastry has helped me. In managing my diabetes, thyroid, and kidney disorders. My A1c has improved and I better understand the importance of closely monitoring my health issues.

Listens to me, talks to me, not at me. Works with me to help control Diabetes.

She is very patient and is very thorough.

She unfailingly takes the time I need to review what's going on with my Type I diabetes and problem solves with me until we find a change to deal with what's going on. She is very professional, yet approachable & friendly - I have the highest respect for her & her staff.

Dr. Shastry is like an old school doctor…she spent time with me and explained everything. She answered all my questions, and I left feeling like I really understood what was going on with my health situation.

I was looking for a new endocrinologist because I've recently moved into the area from DFW. 5 minutes into my appointment, Dr. Shastry said "Armour is dangerous, I don't prescribe it." I have been on Armour and other natural desiccated thyroid meds for years. It's the only thing that brings me relief from crushing symptoms. My TWO previous doctors in DFW were fine with the treatment and satisfied that I could function on it. Dr. Shastry said "You'll have a hard time finding a doctor around here who will prescribe it." And refused to listen when I said synthetics don't work for me. She offered no suggestions for how I'm supposed to survive a year of not being able to function under terrible hypothyroid symptoms while I "stabilize" on meds that I know from experience don't work for me. No empathy at all.

Great! Last year I had some problems scheduling my reclast infusion. As a result I ended up having to have an extra blood test—very traumatic for me. I expressed my concern to Dr Shastry. I was very pleasantly surprised when the very next day they called me for an appointment. They said I could come in the next day for the infusion! What a relief!

Compared to former physicians, Dr. Shastry schedules labs as often as practicable within the constraints of insurance coverage. I feel more confident knowing she bases her treatment on lab results to maneuver the labyrinth of type II diabetes and its quirks. When other physicians treated me without realistically frequent lab results, there was skepticism, a feeling like it was something of a crap shoot, a shot (no pun intended) in the dark.

She’s always up front with you and tells you how it is ! But she’s very kind and considerate and takes her time and makes Sure you understand everything.

Dr Shastry always takes time to review my data and provide good suggestions.

Dr. Shastry is so compassionate and is great. She really takes the time to take care of my needs and concerns.

Was Impressed w Dr Shastry. She seems like she cares.

Very good, very professional, very helpful in answering questions and very good with keeping in touch and communicating

Visit was very good each time I visit Dr.Shastry learn more things that I need to do.

Receptionist are awesome.. really felt like her opinion was already made and was brushed off..

She is very good at communicating what you need to do for positive treatment outcome.

I had worn a continuous glucose monitor for 3 months waiting for my appointment. I collected data, analyzed trends, tracked patterns. Had a whole notebook full of my symptoms and things I had noticed seem to be cyclical all for her to tell me non of it was related, that glucose monitors are notoriously unreliable(I was under the care of a diabetes counselor) and told I am stupid for being on thyroid meds if my labs are normal...they're only normal because I'm on the meds for hashimotos! I left the appointment in tears, I did three months of leg work hoping she could take the puzzle pieces and find an answer only to realize I am better off figuring it out on my own. What a waste of time and lack of compassion.

I am very well pleased with the way Dr Shastry has taken care of everything she has done for me

Dr Shastry takes her time with each appointment, I never feel rushed. My portal messages are always answered promptly.
