Specialist for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

by ksgma, Sep 25, 2009 09:04PM
My mother was recently diagnosed with PBC, and I would like her to get a second opinion from a hepatologist as she also has 2 masses on her liver that they said (from a non-contrast MRI) are benign.  I really would like another opinion to ensure that the diagnois is correct and there is nothing more severe.  I am not sure how to find a specialist, but am looking for one in the Boston, MA or Albany, NY area (or anywhere within a few hours of those areas). Does anyone have a recommendation?
Thank you.
