So, my understanding is Dr. Flora is not a hep c specialist. He does work for Brenner.
Yes, any names you can get would be nice. Then I get my Providence insurance main doctor to refer me.
I live in Portland and just completed 48 weeks of interferon and ribavirin. I am a patient of Dr. Flora's (Oregon Clinic), however, I really worked with the NP who was GREAT! I have heard of Atif Zaman, MD who is a hepatologist at OHSU. There is also a Dr. at Emanuel that I've heard is really good and I could get the name if you'd like.
Good luck and keep in touch. This is fabulous outlet for questions and sharing information. I check the site every day for updates and have learned a lot.
Take care.
