I don’t know much about Dr Alper, but Dr. Maurizio Bonicini with CPMC rocks; he’s very aggressive and connected with a cutting edge research, treatment and transplant center. Treatment decisions are discussed with Dr Robert Gish in San Francisco. I used this center in the past; these folks are excellent.
Good luck, and welcome to the central valley--

Thanks Bill. I really appreciate the input! He sounds like a great doc!
If you have a choice I would always go with a hepatologist rather than a GI doc.
