Philly hospital recommendations, 2nd opinions, etc.

[Guest guest]

Folks,

I live about an hour outside of Philly and have been going to Albert Einstein

Medical

Center. I have really enjoyed the doctors there because they have been easy to

talk to

(big deal for me). I'm starting to get a bit concerned though because I don't

always

agree with the GI and I know that UPenn does 4 times the transplants as

Einstein.

Is there anyone here from the area who could let me know what the reputations

are?

Does anyone have recommendations? Should I look for a doctor at UPenn, even if

it's

just for a second opinion?

Any suggestions would be great.
