14 year old son needs a myotomy - Dr. Rice or Dr. Dempsey?

[Guest guest]

Hi - My son is currently under the care of a ped GI at Hopkins for

Achalasia and it's apparent that he now needs a myotomy. I've been

doing a lot of research to find the best surgeon for him since he's so

young and has a long road ahead of him. Hopkins doesn't seem to have

an " expert " even though the hospital has an excellent reputation.

Several people have recommended either Dr. Rice in Cleveland (Tonia -

thank you, you've been my angel!) or Dr. Dempsey at Temple. I'd love

to hear feedback from other parents who have faced this decision for

their children. Although we live in MD, traveling is not an issue at

this point. Thank you, 's mom, Vicki
