Albany Med Endocrinology

First — this is to recommend Taylor Pechtel, PA, and to share my recent observations that it seems like the staff is really trying to be friendly, responsive, and efficient. (And succeeding). I’ve been a patient here for thyroid cancer followup, for about 30 years. I left a year or two after the phenomenal Dr. Abelseth (& David, nurse/medical assistant) left, because the doctor I was transferred to was beyond rude, chauvinistic, and condescending. He claimed my 1981 cancer diagnosis may have been false since I’d been cancer free so long and diagnostic standards has changed. I’m back because my GP recommended endocrine followup — realizing that Dexa scan, thyroid scan, and lab results need that expertise. Taylor is young, not as experienced, but I am neither. I can say with 100% certainty that she has the knowledge, skill, and desire to be an excellent care provider. So far, I am happy to have returned —except for the visceral reaction of seeing the other doctor is still there.
