Rachel Botkin is a board certified family nurse practitioner with years of experience in various settings including ICU, ER, Urgent Care, ENT, and Primary Care. She is passionate about treating patients with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's by looking at the patient as a whole, to figure out the best course of action for them to treat their symptoms and improve their overall health.
Why I am passionate about treating patients with hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism affects so many people, once you get your patient on the right regimen with medications and lifestyle changes their whole world can change for the better.
My approach to treating hypothyroidism is...
Treating the patient as a whole looking at all contributing factors lifestyle, diet, and medications. Working with my patients to find the optimal treatment plan for them.
