Stolle Loren C MD

Dr. Stolle has been my primary physician for the past 18 years. I appreciate the fact that he’s patient and interested in my health and well-​being. He takes time to ask questions and responds to all of my questions. When I’ve needed to see a specialist, he’s made excellent referrals.

I have been seeing Dr. Stolle for over 20 years. I have always «presented» as exremely healthy, fit, thin, low blood pressure, low cholesterol. I eat very well. I have been at virtually the same wieght for 20 years I do not want to be ill, I do not want to take drugs. I want to be healthy and am willing I have been telling him for EIGHT YEARS NOW that something is very, very wrong. I finally did a lot of research and said «I think I am hypothyroid» — –very common in women my age and I had al lthe symptoms, except 1: I was not gaining weight. He asked if I was gaining weight «no» — oh, well then I couldn’t be hypothyroid. I have now been begging him for 2 years to change my meds because they seem to make no idfference. I even copied off about ¹⁄₃ of a book written by an expert at UCSF on hypothyroidism — and while I was in his office, he told me things this doctor wrote years ago are NOT true — e.g. that raising my meds level could make my bones brittle (this doc said that’s been said for years and not to believe it, he has never seen any evidence — and he is a specialist writing some 8 years ago at UCSF!) The upshot is, looking back over 25 years? Stolle has done nothing for me. He’s tested the regular stuff. He’s written orders for tests if it seemed necessar — –but he has never had ANY interest at all in questioning or getting to the bottom of ANYTHING.
I could go into a lot more detail. As I said, I have no interest in being «unwell» — –but I have been for about 8 years now. And Stolle has been utterly useless Looking back, i wish I had changed doctors about 15 years ago.
