On my first office visit, Dr. Tapryal took time to sit and talk with me, as if I were his long-time friend. He thoroughly reviewed my recent labwork results, and then shared many details in a thoughtful manner-- explaining how a healthy thyroid and the body's cells should ideally function. He prescribed an alternative approach to treating my existing autoimmune and hypothyroid condition (which includes HRT and added daily mineral and vitamin supplements), which I am trying now in hopes to avoid taking a prescription dose of Armour Thyroid medication for the duration of my lifetime. I would highly recommend a visit to Dr. Tapryal's office if you are looking for a doctor that truly cares about the root cause of your symptoms-- and wants to help restore proper cell and body functions to eliminate the source of the illness. (And not just mask it by prescribing a drug!!) Also-- his front office administrator, Apol, is VERY friendly and helpful, too. She took the time to send me a text message prior to my first visit-- and sent detailed directions and parking instructions, which made it SO EASY to locate their office. I truly appreciate their extra measure of client care and service, and hope you will, too! :-)
