| - Dr. Lacovelli is a true gem. For starters, she is thorough and patient. Her office does not overbook and each patient is treated like a priority, not a number, the way one often feels in other practices. Moreover, Dr. Lacovelli is bright, thorough and thinks out of the box. For over a decade, I was told my labs were normal and my fatigue was due to chronic fatigue syndrome, a "catch all" disease with no definitive diagnosis or cure. As a result, I was exhausted all the time. I also experienced rapid weight gain but was told it was due to a slowing metabolism and age. I visited multiple medical doctors over the years, always with the same results.
Dr. Lacovelli carefully listened to my symptoms. and reviewed my labs. Even though my thyroid was technically normal, it was on the low end of normal. That fact, combined with my other symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, always cold) led her to believe my thyroid was low. She prescribed synthroid and cytomel. She also prescribed testosterone, due to low levels per my labs, which also causes low energy. After taking these meds for approximately three months, I have a significant increase in energy and have not felt better in many, many years. I feel as though Dr. Lacovelli has given my life back to me.
I could nhighly recommend Dr. Lacovelli.
