How likely are you to recommend Dr. Lafave?
It is difficult to schedule with Dr. Lafave, she is very popular! As the other reviewer stated, for Hashimoto's Disease, Dr. Lafave does not accept that food sensitivities and/or digestive issues are at all related to having an autoimmune disorder. She is however, willing to prescribe natural thyroid replacement hormones. Therefore if your thyroid issue is stable, you are only needing your annual prescription refilled, and you prefer to use natural thyroid hormones, use her!
