Just curious....I am in process of looking into getting an Endocrinologist. I'm worried about the response I'll get when I mention Medicare.

I don't think it should matter. Just make sure that the doctor accepts Medicare patients to begin with.

I have been on Medicare for eleven years and have never had any problems with specialists. I have seen an endocrinologist, dermatologist, gynecologist, opthalmologist, and even a specialist/surgeon for gasto surgery and have never been treated any differently. So, don't worry. As Lanie said, it's good to see if they take Medicare but I've never found one who didn't and I'm REALLY picky about my doctors...I have the best!
