Default Finding a physician who.....

I know that sometimes "word of mouth" can work beneficially so here I go. Can anyone recommend a physician who knows how to properly treat the thyroid (by ordering the correct tests beyond the standard TSH)? I was diagnosed up north with hypothyroidism and was put on Armour Thyroid. I'm currently working with a dr from Ocala who has me on Naturethroid, WP and T3. I'm with TVH and my primary admittedly doesn't know how to go beyond the Armour or Naturethroid. My experience with many doctors has been....why are you on this? I don't want to change my medications to appeal to their comfort in treating so would appreciate hearing if there are any physicians within The Villages (and even TVH care system) if possible as going to Ocala for a 15 min. office visit every 3 or 4 weeks is a bit much.
