Dr. Greene

[Guest guest]

Hi guys, just thought I would answer the question about Dr. Greene, she is

currently at DC children's hospital and mainly sees children but will see adults

on acception. She is moving to the university of MD hopsital though in

August. That is in Baltimore MD. Might be closer to some of you- I believe she

will

be in the genetics and metobolism pediatrics dept there too, will have to see

if she sees adults still when she goes there. She told me that I should try

and just see the geneticist taking over for her and Dr. Gropman instead of

moving on to UMD. It is more of a drive (2-3 hrs I think) rather than DC being

only

45 mins usually. The only thing that upset me about Dr. Greene is that she

seems to think I should only see her or the new geneticist every yr and have my

neuro or Dr. Gropman see me when needed if more often. I just feel that even

though Dr. Gropman is an excellent mito specialist, Dr. Greene had a better

bed-side approach and I just felt more confortable with some of her views. I see

Dr. Gropman Thurs. So many now that I have a diagnosis, she will change in

some of her ways. Also, there are numerous other metabolic geneticist in the

country, including Dr. Korson in Boston and a few others. Just gotta know where

to

find them. Umm, I think it was Marjorette who had this question- maybe if you

mentioned your area, maybe someone will have some recommendations of drs to

see. Hope you can find someone.

take care,

I only see Dr. Cohen once a year. It use to be every 6 months in the

beginning. My local specialists handle everything and can contact him if

necessary. So far, that has worked for me. I do have a great MDA neuro, but

I only see him every 6 months. I live in an area that had been known for the

lack of quality health care. I decided to try to find specialists close to

home that practice at the local hospital. I was pleasantly surprised that I

have found some great docs in their fields. Things do change over time.

Hopefully you can work things out to meet your needs.
