Thyroid Treatment in Meridian, ID
Thyroid problems are among the most common — and most commonly under-evaluated — hormone issues. A single TSH test that comes back “normal” often ends the investigation, even when fatigue, weight changes, and low mood say otherwise. Vance Medical looks at the complete thyroid picture.
“Just because you haven’t found a cure, doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”
— Dr. Mark Vance, MD

Why 'Normal TSH' Doesn't Always Mean a Healthy Thyroid
TSH is the standard first-line thyroid test, but it’s only one piece of a larger picture that includes free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. A patient can have a TSH within the standard reference range while still having a thyroid conversion problem or early autoimmune thyroid disease that a single test won’t catch.
Dr. Vance’s evaluation runs a complete thyroid panel and interprets it in the context of your actual symptoms — not just whether a single number falls inside a lab’s reference range.

Frequently Asked Questions
My TSH was normal — could I still have a thyroid problem?
Yes. TSH alone doesn’t capture the full thyroid picture. Dr. Vance’s evaluation includes a more complete panel to check for issues a single test can miss.
Do you treat Hashimoto's and other autoimmune thyroid conditions?
Yes — thyroid antibody testing is part of a complete evaluation, and treatment for autoimmune thyroid conditions is coordinated alongside our broader Chronic Illness program when relevant.
Will I need thyroid medication for life?
This depends on the cause and severity of your thyroid condition. Dr. Vance will discuss what’s realistic for your specific case and monitor your labs regularly.
