Sunny,
Some doctors seem to have a height problem - they can't see over their egos.
I had the same problem with my doc. He doesn't know how to properly treat hypothyroidism, and the last time I saw him, I told him that my symptoms were back, and/or had never really cleared up. He told me that since my TSH is within the "normal:" range, (2.75, if I recall correctly), there's nothing more that he can do for me. (To make matters worse, he uses an obsolete range, 0.5-5.5) He didn't check free T4, free T3, nor did he test for thyroid antibodies. <sigh> I still have almost all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, even though I am on a low dose of levothyroxine. I wouldn't even have that low dose script if I hadn't talked him into checking free T4 initially, because my TSH was higher, but still within the upper limits of the obsolete range that he, (and the lab that he uses), goes by. Free T4, though, was out of the "normal" range, (and probably still is).
When I asked if he thought I should check with an endocrinologtist, he said he could recommend one, but then he hemmed and hawed, and seemed a bit defensive, and he never did come up with a name. As soon as I get the time to do it, I need to locate a new doc. My doc is taller than average, but I think he could probably still benefit from a couple more inches of height. LOL.
