I recently had my thyroid removed and was recommended to Dr Vinik as an endrocrinologist to control my synthroid needs. He perscribed the regular synthroid and I started vibrating. I mean I was in real trouble. I complained to him about this and he suggested I should have my head examined because no one had reactions to synthroid. I went to another doctor who immediately put me on a hypoallergenic synthroid and all my «mental» problems went away. My other problem was that when I called his office to tell them I had to speak to Dr. Vinik, his nurse called me 2 days later. This guy is bad news.
