Should I see an Endo??

I have seen my pcp, a general surgeon and an ent/surgeon all regarding my thyroid goiter/nodules which are growing. This is on my right side and a second ultrasound showed significant growth in 7 months, and I'm taking levothyroxine for it. I had thyroid surgery scheduled for the beginning of March which got cancelled; now I'm waiting to reschedule for the end of April. I have never seen an Endo, and have thought about it occassionally; but none of the doctors suggested it or thought it was really necessary. Now that my surgery has been put on hold, I am thinking about taking this opportunity to see an endo and get another opinion. I even just met a coworker today that has Graves and recommended an endo to me. I'm seeing this as a sign that maybe I should go! Is this a silly question or are you all thinking that I should go see the endo? Thanks....
