I've seen a napro obgyn twice. He's not in Omaha, though he did train there. He did diagnose my PCOS when my regular obgyn didn't, and I thank him for that. I drove over 2 hours to seek treatment from him. I really really liked him after my first appointment. However, after my second follow-up appointment, I don't think I'll be going back to him. He didn't seem to remember why I was seeing him (to regulate my cycles and get my body back to "normal" - NOT to get pregnant). He didn't have the results of bloodwork he had ordered or the u/s I had done to look for cysts in my charts. During the appointment, his cell phone rang, and he answered it and chatted in front of me for a couple of minutes about a bbq. It was obviously a non-work related call.

He couldn't figure out my thyroid issues. My TSH numbers indicate hypothyroid, but my Free T4 and T3 tests came back normal. So, he told me that I didn't have a thyroid problem, even though I have extremely low basal temps(95.9*-96.2*) and am exhausted and lethargic frequently and am cold all the time, except for when I'm having a hot flash. I kept pressing him on it, and he told me he would look into it and get back with me. That was two weeks ago, and I have yet to hear from him.

On top of all of that, one of my SILs is also seeing him for PCOS. He didn't tell her that if she gets pregnant, she needs to have her progesterone levels checked asap. I was the one who advised her to have her levels checks. She would have lost her baby had I not told her to do so. Thankfully, she did have her levels checked and is still supplementing with progesterone injections.

I have heard great things about napro docs, but this one did not live up to my expectations. I'm going to see an endocrinologist locally next week.
