Phone conversation disclaimer

These conversations provide general thyroid information. They are not a substitute for care from a qualified health professional who knows your personal medical situation.

General education, not individual medical care

Conversations may cover general thyroid terminology, testing concepts, published research, and questions to discuss with your own care team. Dr. Guttler does not review personal medical records, laboratory results, imaging, symptoms, or medication lists through this service. He does not diagnose conditions, recommend treatment for an individual, prescribe medication, order tests, or make changes to a current treatment plan.

Your own care team

Continue to rely on your primary clinician, endocrinologist, and other treating professionals for personal medical decisions. A conversation does not create ongoing care and does not replace a visit with a clinician who can evaluate your individual needs.

Urgent concerns

Phone conversations are not for emergencies, urgent symptoms, or situations that require prompt clinical evaluation. In an emergency, call emergency services. For new, worsening, or concerning symptoms, contact a qualified healthcare professional promptly.
