hello jeanie. I dont rec routine ultrasound of the neck without reason becuase with that u will find thyroid nodules which are not palpable nor clinically significant which we call Thyroid Incidentalomas. I am not sure how big they are. You can look for Rey Rosales. Hes a friend that I met in our conventions and gatherings.

Last April 19 I noticed that my right eye was really red. I went to see an eye Doctor on April 21 and he diagnosed it as subconjunctival hemorrhage possible caused by the Pletaal you prescribed to replace the aspirin.I have stopped taking the Pletaal and would like to ask if I should continue or not?

Dear Doctor Tan,
I’m very interested to your informatively Web site.
My father lives in Manila, is 76 years old and he got very sick in diabetes. His health condition is all in all very serious.
Even a leg of him is to be amputated.
Because you’re specialist in this field of diabetes you may give a recommendation for a specialist in Manila to me. Please help us immediately.
Thank you very much for your kindness and God bless you.
Yours sincerly,
Joey

Joey… there a lots of great endocrinologists in Manila. I am trained in US so I particularly dont know their expertise to be exact. BUT your pa’s problem lies in not being able to seek consult at the proper time where the best time for a diabetic to check is before he becomes one and still at risk…LIKE YOU! Dont wait for symptoms or complicatiojs like the one your father has before you seek advise.

Hi Dr. Tan!
I was diagnosed with toxic goiter last August when I was in Davao. However, my job compelled me to have my September consultation with Dr. Chang of CDO City. I’m supposed to consult him again this coming November 24. Unfortunately, I’m now assigned in Dumaguete and I’ve been having a hard time finding another endocrinologist. I’m hoping you can refer me to an associate. Going to Cebu is my last option. Thank you!
November 18, 2008 at 11:58 am
There are endocrinologists in Dumaguete that you can visit. Try to get the opinions of local folks too who they would recommend
