This doctor doesn't ignore instructions -- she can't follow them. She doesn't pay attention to…read moredetail, only orders TSH, and never runs the full thyroid labs that actually matter. I clearly wrote "no 90‑day refill supply" because my insurance will not cover it. She still sent a 90‑day refill -- not because she disagreed, but because she didn't follow the instructions at all...has happened repeatedly. That mistake left me out of medication, stuck in an insurance mess, and feeling awful while waiting for a fix that never should have been needed. For what endocrinologists in the Valley are paid, this level of incompetence is unacceptable.

Diagnosed over 24 yrs ago with hypothyroidism and treated by SGMF primary doctor with meds…read more Standard TSH blood test yearly with adjustments in medication over the years. Last 2 year's, chronic pain, depression, anxiety and extremely low b12 and Vit D levels. Throat felt swollen and difficulty swallowing.Many trips to primary asking for more thorough testing. Why were my labs for last 2 year's way out of range? Sister passed from thyroid storm age 37. Mom and all other siblings have thyroid issues. Referred to Dr. Han a thyroid specialist by my primary doctor. Finally thought I would get a thorough exam and get to the root of my thyroid issues . Gave her my history. Told her I was severely fatigued. She told me to get busy...get off the couch...maybe to start jogging...as she jogs. ??? I had told her that I was retired...had spent the last 3-4 years taking care of aged dying parent's...and she tells me to get a busy and start jogging like her. Well for one.. she is at least 25 years younger and presumably in good health...I resented her tone and her condescending manner. She never touched my throat or even had me swallow. She then proceeded to tell me well maybe you are pre-diabetic. So she ran a blood test which showed my sugar was slightly over normal and basically wrote me off. Side note... Followup with more blood sugar tests.with primary..I don't have a pre-diabetes or diabetes issue. Then I convinced my primary to run a thyroid antibody test which came out extremely high ( indicative of an autoimmune disorder). Dr. Han did not run this antibody test! When I questioned treatment with my primary and Dr. Han and asked if they could further test me for Hashimoto's I was told..Your thyroid results are within the range of treatment for the standard western medical field of reference. Talk about dropping the ball. Because they are the only doctors my insurance will let me see, I have to do my own research and treat myself. I would not recommend this doctor at all. She did not listen to my concerns, review my medical history or take my concerns seriously. In addition she was rude. I am very disappointed with the treatment from this specialist and my primary doctor at Sutter Gould Medical Modesto CA.

I started noticing changes around 48; my moods were off - patience was fragile which is not like me; eventually, terrible hot flashes started, and pretty much everything else started going sideways: mental fog, exhaustion, terrible sleep, and absolutely zero libido. I tried everything to find relief, the natural remedies, the over the counters, relaxation audio, yoga, massage.. omg what haven't I tried. I waited longer, did more reading and research and finally decided I had to do something - I was tired of feeling.. tired. Tired of whatever was causing me to feel definitely not me. Friends who are under his care for HRT recommended I talk with him. I booked my appointment with Dr. McMillan's office and anxiously awaited my consultation appointment. Dr. McMillen is not new to HRT, in fact he is board certified and has been practicing HRT for over 7 years. I sat down with him and had a long discussion about my health and concerns. I don't think I've ever sat down with a doctor and talked about what was going on with me, what I was looking to do to such length. So after a lengthy discussion about, well, me, what HRT is today, how it works, and what is possible, I was eager to move to step 2. We scheduled a blood draw and full body scan to get into what's going on inside - and this is not a standard blood draw; it's like looking at the roadmap of what's going on; it was incredibly fascinating, as well as seeing where I can improve. (As a fitness / health-minded person, it was data central to my geek heart). My "pellet" ingredients were manufactured based on this report and how we wanted to approach treatment, ease in, or full board, and I anxiously awaited my next appointment to get them. I was a bit nervous when I went back; I didn't know what to expect... and honestly, the local anesthetic was more "scary than the procedure itself. But, now that I've had my second, it was a piece of cake. The incision itself is very, very small, covered with a surgical strip and then another water proof bandage over. Very discret and high enough you don't have to worry about "sitting". No discomfort, no pain. I can't believe I waited this long to do this. So you say, get to what happened! I kept looking at the calendar, ok, when's it going to happen, what am I going to feel? Is my libido going to come back... and all the other parts dissipate like... let's just get real, discomfort....which was the worst of all things. A few weeks in I found out yet, this solved the problem. EVERYTHING was working as it used to! Here is a list of all the things that have come back: Libido and no discomfort (I think you get the picture here) Sleep - omg sleep is next level, in fact, I can't wait to go to bed because the sleep is incredible Focus - I'm no longer foggy, forgetful, and struggle to keep my thoughts straight. Fitness - decreasing body fat and increasing muscle definition again - I was struggling to keep what I had with the declining hormone levels. General mood/energy - I felt like a frickin' tiger about 3/4 of the way through the first three months (and before your next pellet session) in which the hormones start naturally tapering, and each upcoming load generally increases baseline, so you begin to keep a higher base level. I genuinely feel Dr. McMillan is the perfect choice based on his level of genuine care and interest, his experience, and his credentials. And it's not just for women... men go through it too, and they're just as many seeking relief; it's ok to take charge of your health to feel good. His reason for what inspired him to step into this field is heartfelt in wanting others not to live our "older years" unnecessarily dwindling. As medicine and technology increase our living span, it only makes sense to live it better and the best you can. Trust me, you won't regret it! Dr. McMillan is awesome as is his super friendly staff!!!
