Re: . There are good docs in Phily

[Guest guest]

My myotomy was done by Chojnacki and Sidney Cohen at Jefferson. They do

lots of them. Richter said they did a good job. I don't like the xray people

there... they are totally rude jerks. The factory surgery system there is also

dehumanizing. BUT, you can get first rate surgery there.

I think you would like Chojnacki. She is very nice and closer to your age than

most. I would trust her.... I DID trust her and have no regrets. You might

prefer having another woman doing this. From my point of view it felt awkward,

but I'm a man.

Leo Katz, the GI at Jeff, is good people. He was the one to diagnose my

achalasia, after the typical misdiagnosis of its oposite we all know so well.

You could see him.

Temple's surgeons, recommended by Dr. Richter have plenty of experience.

ly, I think there is no need to travel far. In small town hospitals, and

branches of teaching hospitals, it's different. Philly is a highly competitive

university teaching town and Temple, Penn, and Jefferson have surgeons more than

adequate to the task of a myotomy.

When myotomies fail and things go awry is when the top handful of docs in the

nation are needed. Merely excelent will work for the rest of us just fine. We

are not looking at " on the job training " that others have experienced.

, 53, who is over three years post myotomy by Chojnacki, whom I think you

would like and trust if you just gave her a chance.
