Here are some of the top hepatologists on the east coast. Like I said in your other post I don't think they will write you a note.
Ira Jacobson, NYC
Dr Afdhal, Boston,
Dr Leevy, Newark NJ
Dr Reddy, Univer of Penn, Phila PA
Dr, Leevy died last year.
Doug Dieterich - NY
Dr.. Reddy or Schiff - Miami
Dr. Shiffman - Richmond
Dr. Hofnagle - NIH - Bethesda
Ray Chung - Boston
I was surprised to hear about Dr Leevy dying. He was the first hepatologist I saw when I first found out I had HCV . I only went to him a few times and didn't like the wait to see him, 3-4 hours! Now that I think about it he didn't look to be in the best health back then in 2006. I think he was one of the top hepatologist back in the day. I think I caught him at the end of his career. God rest his soul.
I participated in the Phase III Vertex trial at UPenn with Dr. Reddy. He, and his staff, were great.
When I asked a hepatologist who he thought the best one are he mentioned most of the ones already named. However, at the top of his list was McHutchinson at Duke.
