I don't care how many credentials a cardiologist may have behind their name. If they are completely pro-pharmaceutical and don't consider the whole picture and outside factors such as hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, diet, lifestyle, and are against non-drug remedies like fish oil, niacin, etc. with nothing to back up their claims, then they are very suspect in my book. Good you are getting another opinion. Speaking of which, I have come to the realization that most cardiologists are no the best docs to go for for a lipid management and preventive cardiology. I will therefore be seeking out one in particular, Dr. Tara Dall, MD. She is a well respected lipidologist that actually trains other physicians and knows way more than probably 99% of the cardiologists out there when it comes to dyslipidemia and all the factors that surround it.
