You might consider seeking out another endocrinologist. A friend of mine is the head of endocrinology at one of the top ten hospitals in the US and his position is that anyone with an endocrine problem should be evaluated by an endocrinologist and preferrably should have on-going care from one. Barring that, an annual review with full labs w/an endocrinologist is a minimum of responsible care. Your endo's response was like a dermatologist saying, "Oh, you have a skin disorder. Why on earth are you seeing me, a dermatologist?"
From first-hand experience, I can tell you that a screw-up in your endo system can have incredible repercussions - such as anxiety, depression, tachycardia --- the list is endless. Good luck!
