How do the patients get sent to you?
The majority of our patients are sent to us by their doctors. About 40% are sent by an endocrinologist. About 40% are sent by their PCP or cardiologist, or nephrologist.
About 20% of patients send themselves to see us. Many of this last group are fed up with how things are going. They are tired of getting scans and the doctors giving vitamin D to try to “fix” what they have come to understand is a freaking tumor in their neck. About 35% of our patients have downloaded our CalciumPro app which helps them diagnose hyperparathyroidism because their doctors were getting it wrong.
