Thyroid Disorder Treatment in North and Central New Jersey

Finally feel like yourself again with thyroid care that goes beyond "your labs look normal" 

PremierMD care of thyroid disorders

The Struggle

You're exhausted all the time. You've gained weight despite eating less. Your hair is thinning. You're always cold. Or maybe the opposite—you're anxious, losing weight, heart racing, can't sleep. You tell your doctor and they run a thyroid test. "Your TSH is normal," they say. "There's nothing wrong."

The Truth

But you know something is wrong. And you're right. Standard thyroid testing only checks TSH, missing the full picture of thyroid health. That single number doesn’t tell your whole story.

The Solution

At PremierMD, we run comprehensive thyroid panels—TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and antibodies—and optimize levels based on how you feel, not just what’s “in range.” Because normal labs don’t always equal normal energy.

How We Treat Thyroid Disorders

During your appointment, we'll walk through all available endocrine testing methods and help you understand which ones are most likely to shed light on your individual condition and how we can best help you.

Our approach includes:

  • Comprehensive thyroid testing (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, antibodies)
  • Optimal thyroid medication dosing for how YOU feel
  • T3/T4 combination therapy when appropriate
  • Treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis
  • Thyroid nodule monitoring
  • Medical acupuncture for thyroid support
  • Nutritional optimization (selenium, zinc, iodine)
  • Addressing underlying causes (stress, gut health, inflammation)

Note: While we provide comprehensive thyroid treatment, counseling and prescriptions, we refer to endocrine specialists in unique cases. We work closely with excellent providers in the area to ensure you get the care you need.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Thyroid Care FAQs

We run full thyroid panels, not just TSH. Many patients diagnosed as "normal" actually have low T3 or thyroid antibodies causing symptoms. Our comprehensive testing includes TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies (TPO and thyroglobulin) to get the complete picture of your thyroid function.

We optimize your thyroid levels based on how you FEEL, not just lab ranges. TSH alone doesn't tell the whole story. You might have low T3, high Reverse T3, or thyroid antibodies that aren't being addressed. If you still have symptoms despite "normal" TSH, we adjust your treatment until you feel better.

Some patients need T4 only (Synthroid/levothyroxine), others benefit from T3/T4 combinations. We find what works for YOUR body. T4 is a storage hormone that converts to T3, the active hormone. Many patients on T4-only medication still feel tired because they don't convert well. Adding T3 or switching to combination therapy often helps these patients feel significantly better.

Yes. Thyroid problems often stem from stress, inflammation, or nutritional deficiencies. We treat these underlying issues, not just prescribe medication. We look at factors like chronic stress, gut health, nutrient deficiencies (especially selenium, zinc, vitamin D, and B vitamins), environmental toxins, and autoimmune triggers. Addressing these root causes often improves thyroid function and overall health.

Yes, we have plenty of experience in treating autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's. Many doctors only address the hypothyroidism that results from Hashimoto's, but we address the autoimmune attack itself. This includes identifying and removing triggers, reducing inflammation and supporting immune system regulation. Our goal is to reduce antibody levels and slow disease progression while also optimizing your thyroid hormone levels.

Absolutely. Many patients come to us frustrated because they're on thyroid medication but still feel exhausted, can't lose weight, or struggle with brain fog. We run comprehensive testing to identify why your current treatment isn't working—whether it's poor T4-to-T3 conversion, nutritional deficiencies, undiagnosed Hashimoto's, or simply being on the wrong dose or medication type. We have multiple medication options including synthetic T4, T3, combination therapy, and natural desiccated thyroid.

Most patients begin to notice improvements within 2-4 weeks of starting or adjusting thyroid medication, with full benefits at 6-8 weeks. However, finding the optimal dose and medication type may take 3-6 months of careful monitoring and adjustment. We recheck your labs every 6-8 weeks initially until we find your optimal dose, then monitor annually once you're stable. Some patients feel better quickly on T3-containing medications, while T4-only medications take longer to build up in your system.

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. Thyroid testing, office visits, and medication management are typically covered by insurance. We'll verify your coverage before your first visit and handle all insurance paperwork. Same-day appointments are available. Call us at (908) 450-7002 to schedule or verify your specific coverage.
