A Complete Approach to
Optimal Thyroid Function

Dr. Kannankeril diagnoses and treats all thyroid conditions—hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Graves' Disease, Wilson's Syndrome, goiters, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Rather than put her patients on a set amount of medication, she does a full evaluation of thyroid function via extensive blood work and necessary imaging , including: 

  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

  • Free T3 (Free Triiodothyronine)

  • Free T4 (Free Thyroxine)

  • Reverse T3

  • TSI (Thyroid Stimulating Index)

  • ATAb (Anti-thyroglobulin Antibodies)

  • TPO Ab (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies)

  • TRAb (Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody)

  • T3RU (T3 Resin Uptake)

  • Iodine

  • Selenium

  • Copper

  • Iron studies

  • Food allergy/sensitivity testing

  • Hormone evaluation

  • Thyroid ultrasound

Dr. Kannankeril takes the time to explain how the test results relate to her patients’ symptoms. Based on those results, as well as a thorough history and assessment of other possible contributing factors, she creates a customized treatment plan for them that may include the following:

  • Synthroid (Levothyroxine)

  • Cytomel (Liothyronine)

  • Tirosint (Levothyroxine, fewer fillers)

  • Armour Thyroid

  • Nature-Throid

  • NP Thyroid

  • WP Thyroid

  • Compounded thyroid medications

  • Herbal, mineral and amino acid combinations

  • Dietary changes

  • Stress management

  • Hormone treatment

She monitors patients' progress with regular blood work and symptom evaluation. When a treatment might not be quite right, Dr. Kannankeril works with her patients to adjust the treatment as needed, including changing medication or titrating to find exactly the right dosage or combination that works best.

"We welcomed our baby daughter last month and I still can't believe we have her after YEARS of no periods. After two fertility clinics said there was nothing more to do and no period in sight, I came to you. Everyone told me that my thyroid and hormones were normal, but you paid attention to all my symptoms and made connections. Your thorough testing and analysis and then combination of thyroid medication and hormone got me not only my period back, but feeling better than ever at 39! Who knew that after all that, I could have a baby? Well, she's here and we're so very thankful for you!"
