Frequently asked
Who is the best thyroid doctor near me in South Delhi?
Dr. Sanjay Sachdev (MBBS, MNAMS) is a senior consulting physician who has managed thyroid disorders for South Delhi patients for over three decades — from his clinics at Friends Colony East and Maharani Bagh. The same doctor on every follow-up, with clear dose titration and annual review.
Which doctor should I consult for thyroid — physician or endocrinologist?
Most thyroid conditions — hypothyroidism, mild hyperthyroidism, post-pregnancy thyroid changes, and thyroid screening — are managed well by a general physician. An endocrinologist referral is reserved for complex cases like Graves' disease or thyroid nodules requiring intervention. Dr. Sachdev will tell you clearly which one you need.
What is a thyroid specialist doctor called?
In day-to-day practice, the 'thyroid specialist' you see for hypothyroidism or routine TSH management is usually a general physician. The hospital-based super-specialist is an endocrinologist. For 90% of thyroid presentations, a physician is the faster, more continuous option.
What tests do I need for a thyroid check?
A TSH is the first test. Depending on the result we may add Free T4, Free T3, and anti-TPO antibodies. Ultrasound is added only when a nodule or goitre is felt.
Can hypothyroidism be cured?
Hypothyroidism is usually managed long-term with a small daily dose of thyroxine. Some post-viral and post-partum cases recover on their own; others need lifelong replacement with periodic dose adjustment.
How often should thyroid levels be checked?
Once stable, an annual TSH is enough. After any dose change, we re-test in 6–8 weeks.
