“I have a thyroid issue and asked Joseph E Cesanek, MD for an up in my medicine due to still experiencing bad symptoms. He was reluctant at first being afraid to hurt me if my levels fell too low. We came to a fair agreement. He would up it but only if I had new blood work done in 2 months to check my levels and a bit more. He also recommended I see an endocrinologist and ordered a ultrasound of my thyroid for that. Will do what he asks on the blood work and precede from there on endo visit and ultrasound. He has been our doctor for almost 30 years, so we have a good repore! We love him! Good listener, kind and reasonable!”
