Epperly William L, MD

I see nurse practitioner Anjitha Thomas and I’ve never had a doctor that was so willing to help me feel better. After my thyroid/​hashimotos diagnosis in January I had doctors that just made the problem worse and didn’t help me because my numbers were «normal» I looked up the best endocrinologist online and dr epperly came up in the list. They are an hour and a half drive for me, $ 6 worth of tolls but it’s worth it. I’ve finally got to a point of feeling normal again. Anjitha worked relentlessly until she got my numbers really normal. They aren’t quite yet, but I can tell you. The past few days I feel I could run a marathon almost. Thanks to her I will be going back to work on January 5^th thinner, less pain, and so much happier. I feel like a dark cloud was lifted and I was set free from my shackles. Thank God for leading me to this office!!! And for letting them be covered under my insurance!!! And I hope I can keep her as my doctor /​nurse forever!!!

I love this practice! Dr. Epperly and his staff (Anjitha and Sherin) are all wonderful and knowledgeable. They specialize in natural ways to combat illness, typically recommending dietary changes and supplementation when appropriate. This office has managed my thyroid disorder better than any other doctor, and they look beyond just TSH levels. I also tried «SLIT» therapy for allergies and I’ve gone from 5+ allergy meds/​inhalers in late summer to one allergy med a day over time. Sometimes you can wait a bit after your appointment time, but they are very thorough and will typically take more time with you than any other physician’s office (so I guess it’s a trade off). I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re tired of doctors recommending a pill and sending you on your way!

I went to go see Dr Epperly back in March of 2015. I am going through menopause and experiencing terrible hot flashes. Dr Epperly decided to run a vitamin panel on me. I too was asked to put a credit card on file, but I didn’t think he was going to put charges on there that I didn’t ask for. He billed me $ 190 just take the blood out of my arm he then billed two different laboratories, one of them was quest Diagnostics and the other one with spectral laboratories. spectral laboratories is not even covered under my insurance. I called my insurance company to investigate this charge what they discovered was that doctor Epperly charged me for tests I never asked for, he was supposed to do the vitamin panel and he took it upon himself to run tests on me for malice, depression and fatigue. I have a young child at home that I take care of and I go to the health club 3 days a week. I cook, clean my house & grocery shop and take care of my husband. I have two dogs that keep me very busy. My insurance company is still investigating them and it has been 8 months. Dr. keeps coming up with the wrong codes and my insurance is not happy with them at all.
Dr. Epperly recommended for me to have pallets therapy and after reading the reviews of all the side effects and bleeding problems and bladder problems that people are having I’m very glad that I did not agree to do the pallet therapy.
Anytime you call the office they do not answer the phone not to mention they don’t return your call you have to call them again.
Dr. Epperly and his staff are very rude and condescending it is a very uncomfortable atmosphere and I do not feel that Dr. Epperly help me in anyway or listened to what I was saying to him.
I would not recommend this practice.

I see Sherin George PA-​C here and I like her. She spends time with and writes out everything that she wants me to do/​try for my next visit. I was getting a toxicity from synthetic thyroid medicine so I unwanted to try the desicated treatment. It has worked and I feel much better. I’ve seen Sherin George 3 times now and I would recommend her. I’m usually in and out of there in 20 – 30 minutes. The staff isn’t a problem but they can be condescending but don’t let that deter you from coming.
If you are having trouble with your current Endo I would recommend seeing Sherin. My life is remarkably better since seeing her.

I walked out of my first visit because he REQUIRES a credit card on file. I have a PPO insurance and the only thing I Have to pay for is a $ 30 copay! No thank you!

By the time you seek integrative medicine, you’ve probably had it with regular docs who only know how to treat ills with pills. Do your research and educate yourself first, however, before going this route. And document your symptoms.
I saw Dr Epperly for estrogen and testosterone pellet HRT for menopause symptoms. It was great for about a year, but then I had dysfunctional uterine bleeding that took nearly two years to resolve with my regular GYN doc. I’ve since learned this is not uncommon with pellet therapy.
Dr Epperly is good with «cookbook» integrative remedies that your mainstream physician wouldn’t support/​prescribe. So if your issues are relatively uncomplicated, and you tolerate prescription meds and supplements without side effects, you should be okay seeing Dr. Epperly. But don’t count on over-​the-​top efforts to find a regimen that works for you if you are a complex case. If he doesn’t already have a recipe in his repertoire, you may find yourself back at square one.
Bottom line: pleasant demeanor with enough overall expertise; but wouldn’t recommend the severely hormone challenged going here. He does not believe there is such a thing as adrenal fatigue – if you’re reading this, you may be a sufferer and know exactly what I mean.
Here’s to better health for those who want it; hope you find it.

He’s ok as a dr., but he missed a few big things with me., like adrenal fatigue. I had to ask for the saliva test myself, and I was right, I wasn’t producing enough cortisol, Which is why my thyroid meds weren’t working. He should’ve thought of that himself. The worst thing is his front desk staff. Very rude and condescending. They act like they’re doing you a favor by doing their job. It’s unpleasant dealing with them. They don’t answer the phone when they’re busy so you have to leave a message. I left a message for someone to call me back because I was sick and needed to get in to see the dr, and no one bothered calling me. I had to call back the next day, which by then I was even sicker. He’s very good at treating Hashimoto’s and thyroid issues but if it’s an urgent issue go somewhere else because you will not get a call back. And his staff needs some lessons on how to be nice to patients.

I am a patient of Dr. Epperly’s and have appreciated his skill and wisdom for years. I had a very perplexing situation with my young adult daughter several years ago. She was very sick and functionally disabled. She had been to at least 5 doctors who had no clue why she was sick. Dr. Epperly wasn’t sure what was wrong with her but he knew that she had food allergies and he told her that he could at least help her feel better. He put her on the allergy elimination diet which she executed perfectly. We quickly learned that she has celiac disease. Her symptoms were atypical, thus the difficult diagnosis. She is now healthy, living on her own, working and living a normal life. I am most grateful for Dr. Epperly!

The first visit was actually good. The second visit was mortifying! Dr. Epperly is condescending and rude. He did not do anything for me. He now requires patients to give their credit card information to keep on file so they can charge you for anything. I refused as I do not feel comfortable giving that information out and they were very mean and said I cannot see the doctor unless I give my credit card. I told them I do not have a credit card with me and they allowed me to see the doctor. It has been two days and they have not called in my prescription! The nurse said they are «too busy» I said I need my synthroid daily! They are holding my prescriptions hostage because I refused to give them a credit card! My husband called them yesterday because I was so stressed out about not getting my medication and they lied and told him they were calling it in. I called today and they have yet to do anything! I WILL NEVER RETURN!

I really like Dr. Epperly and have been going to him since I was diagnosed with thyroid issues this year. The office is a little difficult to get on the phone and they have limited office hours so just be prepared.

Dr. Epperly listened to me when NO other doctor would. I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease… this only after one doctor said I couldn’t possibly have it, and another that was unwilling to treat my «subclinical» condition. Dr. Epperly was willing to treat me, and now, my blood work is NORMAL.
He’s a smart doctor who listens well, doesn’t dismiss my own feelings and concerns, and gives excellent advice. I’ve seen him for «second opinions,» as I truly trust him and his judgment. He has a background in nutrition, and is as open to using supplements and more «natural» remedies as he is to using drugs. But everything he does is firmly based in SCIENCE.

I have been going to Dr. Epperly since 2007 where I sincerely believe he saved my life! Previous doctors brushed off the thought of me having a thyroid issue. But, Dr. Epperly was so thorough — he found that not only did I have hypothroidism, but also Hashimoto’s Disease. Once I was on meds, I felt great! Since I have seen him for so long, he knows my hobbies and always seems interested in how life in general is. Great doc!

I have been to Dr. epperly 3 times now, and after my last appointment I walked out in tears. I really liked him at first and felt he really listened to me, and helped me alot by prescribing the right medications for me finally. After the last appointment he was very condescending, and I realize that most doctors don;t care about your personal life and don;t see the importance of it in your overall well being and health, but come on already. I no longer recommend him, unless you need someone to throw relationship advice in your face, without having any real knowledge of me or my situation, but based on statistics sounds like I am doomed. Not a great way to feel. My advice to Dr. Epperly is that you should probably consider the fact that you do not know where people have been in their lives and how much they have overcome to get to a better place. Don’t be a shrink, please!

I found Dr. Epperly on the internet last year when I was diagnosed as being hypothyroid. I was initially diagnosed by my regular doctor but it took several weeks to get in to see her after the labs came back. I used that time to become educated on my condition and the various treatment options. Based on what I read, I knew that I wanted to take a natural thyroid supplement rather than a synthetic, so I made an appointment for a second opinion.
I usually see Anjitha and she is great! I appreciated the time that she spent with me during my appointments, listening to my concerns and tweaking my meds. Thyroid problems cause a lot of seemingly unrelated issues (foot pain, dry skin, hair loss, etc.) that you wouldn’t normally think of. Also, from reading the various blogs out there, I realized that many doctors are not aware of or willing to prescribe the medications that truly help thyroid patients. I am very grateful to both Anjitha and Dr. Epperly for their help. It took almost a year, but I finally found a combination of meds that make me feel great!
If you have thyroid problems, I strongly recommend talking to either of them!
