Dr. Amer Kassar, MD

In my opinion Dr. Kassar was reckless with my care of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. If he would have checked my blood work more often I would not have ended up in the ED with what I thought was a heart attack in stead after all the heart tests came back fairly normal except my EKG because I had tachycardia and irregular heart beats because my dose of thyroid meds was too high. So instead of dropping the dose he stopped meds abruptly which can cause severe health problems and wanted me off for at least two months. As time went on I had to seek out a new Dr. because I was feeling worse as each day went by. I am very relieved I have found a new medical practitioner that understands Hashimoto’s and I am being treated for Hashimoto’s once again. I am very glad I did not wait any longer as my blood work was changing rapidly back to being hypothyroid. He cost me thousands of dollars in ED bills simply because he was not doing enough lab work to know that Low Dose Naltrexone prescribed with hypothyroid meds can cause this to happen. In my opinion if you don’t understand the medication you are prescribing then don’t prescribe it. I was on the same dose of medication for 5 years and in the six months I was under his care he upped my dose once the dropped it a bit and then he dropped it to my original dose and put me on LDN. With in a month of starting the LDN is when I ended up in the ED. If he would have just left everything alone I would not be dealing with any if this. I would definitely not recommend him to anyone. His office visits only last about 69-90 seconds per visit so there isn’t much time for questions.

Dr. Kassar has been my endo for close to a decade now. Through Hashis, cancer, thyroidectomy, and now management. I really like him. He's brief but thorough and his staff is the BEST, especially the desk woman! Only problem I have is they often don't call in my RXs timely and I run out of meds sometimes. Otherwise I'm happy to make the hour drive to him! And now they to blood draws and ultrasounds in the office!

To bad dr.
