How do i get my pcp give me a referral for an endocrinoligist...he said everybody has hosimoto's?

Can insist: If your health insurance coverage mandates that you need a referral to a specialist by your PCP, insist on getting one. However Hashimoto's throiditis is quite common and easy to diagnose and treat by an internist or any primary care physician who has experience in treating such cases.
