Review content:
Dr. Maclaren is definately very knowledgable and up to date with current research in both the fields of diabetes and thyroid. My first (and last) visit lasted 90 minutes. I was actually quite impressed (initially). $1500 of lab tests later and NO resolution to my thyroid problem, I am sorry to say this is one of the worst experiences I have had with a medical professional. After insisting I was insulin resistant (despite having normal lipid profiles, normal bp, normal everything, and having told him I eat no processed carbs/sugar, exercise, etc) he ordered $1500 of lab tests. I really only needed him to adjust my synthroid as I was sure my TSH was high as I felt awful. All my tests were normal, but my TSH was 5.3 (up from 2.3 and 1.3 before). I explained at length how I felt ""normal"" at 1.3. He refused to do anything about my synthroid until I had ANOTHER TSH done. This was 2.0. The change in 5.3 and 2.0 occurred within one week of each other. I went to the same lab, same time, same everything. I have called his office repeatedly to try to speak with him, and he has never called me back. In fact, the only time he called back was when I told his secretary I would seek treatment elsewhere if he did not have the time. I was very, very disappointed, as it seems he has no care or concern in monitoring me or helping me with my persistant symptoms. I am in the health care field and know a bit about how things work.
Pros: Thoughrough initial assessment
Cons: No follow up treatment or calls without badgering his office staff. Still waiting for call back from 2 weeks ago!
