Exclamation Just a note about this site

meaning the AACE site

For some reason, when i put in my zip code or city in, in NJ, it pulled up nothing... but when i put in another zip, in the general area, i got listings...

will post if i find a good endo here... I just moved here from NY and it's been a struggle to find anyone who really understands PCOS... anyone else know one, I'd be glad to hear about him/her.

I do want to say this, Dr. Natalia Anchipolovsky, DO in Hackansack, NJ is NOT someone I would recommend...

when I went to speak to her about issues realted to my PCOS and taking medications and going off them and the results I had she

1) proceeded to tell me that the way PCOS is diagnosed is different now - so my sonograms, hormone levels, etc were meaningless
2) she then tried to negate my symptoms (I can grow a full beard, among the other menstral and weight issues i have but I guess those don't mean much) and
3) she told me that "to lose weight sometimes you just have to starve yourself"...

this was all in the consultation and even though she gave me blood work to have done I would not go back if you paid me... I picked her because beyond PCOS, she had other specialties listed, obesity, diabetes, thyroid and i thought she could give me a well rounded view of what was going on. but as my best friend said I could have gotten "starve yourself" from a drunk on the street...

sorry for the vent, super frustrated, but want to make sure others don't waste their time and money.

I am in the process of being tested/diagnosed. Would you recommend I see a gynocologist, or an endocrinologist?
