,

If your doctor wants you to see a national level expert he may not

be aware that there are two such centers with excellent doctors much

closer to you than Florida.

One is the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. They have a

division just for hepatobiliary diseases and they have the

Pancreatic Disease Center. Their website for this is:

http://ucpancreas.org/ and they have some pages intended for

physicians that may be thinking of referring their patients to the

center. I had suffered with unexplained acute attacks for two years

until I found a GI who know about the Pancreatic Disease Center. I

was able to get an appointment without wait and got excellent care.

This is where I had my total pancreatectomy and islet cell

autotransplant surgery performed.

The other center is in Indiana. They have a website for their ERCP

procedures at: http://medicine.iupui.edu/ercp/default.asp and I have

been told by my physicians here in Cincinnati that Dr. Lehman in

particular is reknown for his skill at endoscopy.

Just wanted to let you know of some other options closer to home for

you.

be well,
