Re: Up to Date Dr. Referrals - Bay Area

[Guest guest]

Hi Phyllis I have just been reading your post I live in Pleasanton but

originally from Liverpool where I had my surgery in 2001 then moved here later

on in 2001 had a lot of problems afterwards so went to GP and was referred to a

GI Doctor in Valleycare his name is Dr Wolfe and I have only positive

experience with him  he is a good listener and gives options and actually talks

to you not at you,I too had problems still with swallowing and at the

moment with Dr Wolfes care feel the best I have felt in a long time I hope

this helps and you find the right Dr if I can help in anyway please let me know

this is a horrible thing for anybody to go through.

Hi,

I've been looking around, read the Dr. Referral list. It sounds like some of it

might be out of date. I'm looking for a GI doc with lots of " A " experience in

the bay area - San , UCSF, Stanford, Muir in Walnut Creek etc.. I don't

need a surgeon for now, just want a follow-up visit for my son who had surgery a

year ago and is still experiencing some problems with swallowing. Has anyone had

any experience with Dr. Alfred Hurwitz, Dr. Kramer (San ), or anyone

else in the area that they can recommend?

It sounds like Dr. Lawrence Way at UCSF is great, but since he's a surgeon is

probably not who I need right now.

Thanks to all on this great list!

Hi, I have just read your post and what a coinsidence! I too have had an

oesophagectomy done in Liverpool back in October 2004 for Achalasia. I now have

severe problems with GERD and may have a big Hiatal Hernia so I have been

referred back to see the surgeon who did my ectomy.

My question is, who did your surgery and at which hospital was it in

Liverpool??? My surgery was done by a Thoracic Consultant Mr Page in

what was then the CTC and is now The Liverpool Heart & Chest Hopital. I am

interested on who did your surgery and where for curiosity more than anything at

this point in time.

from the UK
