Who is your good doctor?

[orphanedhawk]

Is there someone you'd recommend to others in your area?
From time to time, someone on the forum needs a referral.
Who do you see ? Why do you like them ?
Tell us if the doc is a GI or Hepatologist or other, where they're located and how to contact them.

Although, my GI had suggested I see a specialist at CPMC in S.F., it was a member here who recommended a specific  hepatologist several years ago. He is still my liver doctor.

Many of us refer to our doctors and how much we like them, so lets help others.

It doesn't look like we have any suggestions in Arizona. One member from your state is traveling to Vegas to see Dr. Gish, who is one of the best.

You could try the Mayo clinic in Scottsdale or check out this site to find a doctor:

And to all: What about San Antonio ? (hepB chronic carrier)

Yeah I finally got me a good Hepatologist here in Sacramento.  His name is Dr. Lorenzo Rossaro and he's really sharp.  Glad I continued to be persistent or I'd still be stuck with my Gastro who didn't seem to know much about HepC at all.  That was frustrating!!  Anyways, take care y'all and remember your doctor pretty much has to give you a referral if you're not happy with your current HepC doc. ~ kind regards
