RE: Barb,Best hospital for PSC in NYC

[Guest guest]

Dear Lee;

Have you thought about Mt. Sinai Medical School, Division of

Gastroenterology, in New York City?

They specialize in IBD, but also treat disease of the bile ducts:

" Mount Sinai Gastroenterology Faculty Practice Associates specialize

in the diagnosis and treatment in inflammatory bowel disease

(ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), colorectal and other

gastrointestinal cancers, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal

reflux disease, gastrointestinal motility disorders (especially

female pelvic floor disorders), and diseases of the pancreas and

bile ducts that may require advanced endoscopic techniques. "

Hi Lee,

I think what I posted was the US News & World Report’s

Best Hospitals list. They list Mt Sinai

as #7 for GI disorders. You can

read that report at:

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/health/best-hospitals/rankings/specihqgast.htm

On their Honor Roll (Best of the Best) they list New York- Presbyterian Hospital at #16 – you can read that report at:

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/health/best-hospitals/directory/glance_6210024.htm

If you want a first hand recommendation – I’d ask

Penny, her doctor saved her life and she has been doing well (transplant free) ever

since.

Barb,Best hospital for PSC in NYC

Dear Barb,

I have been looking through all my saved emails, because I thought

you once posted a list of hospitals that were ranked by how they

treated liver disease.

I might be dreaming because I can't find it.

With my son moving to NYC, I have a list of possible physicians for

him but I want to pick one that is associated with a hospital with a

good reputation for treating PSC and for liver transplants.

Although we have been to Mayo in Rochester, he needs someone local to

keep tabs on him.

Would you let me know if you did post a list of hospitals with good

reputations?

Thanks so much

Lee

There are some members from the NYC area, but I wouldn't number Penny

among them. She was treated at Strong-Memorial in Rochester, NY - a

good 300 miles from NYC.

In the small town where I once lived in upstate NY, " the city "

referred to Rochester not NYC. NYC was a vacation destination not a

familiar playground.

I stand corrected,

have to remember, where I live now, “City” means a gas station and

a post office in the same place!

Right, I was treated at Strong in Rochester, NY which most New Yawkers

consider somewhere off the western edge of civilization. Mt Sinai is

in the forefront of liver transplant in the NYC area. Has anyone been

going there lately? After the horrible news about the living donor

death, I suspect that they have made some huge changes in how they

manage care.
