Anyone have info about Dr. Critchlow, Beth Israel Deaconess, Boston?

[Guest guest]

He's a surgeon recommended by Dr. Rosenberg at Beth Israel. Dr. R. said he had

done a great many Hellers with a >95% success rate.

We've already met with Dr. at Brigham & Women's. We liked him a great

deal. He said he's done about 40 Hellers (also with a >95% success rate) one or

two a year, during his career.

Next week we meet with Dr. Rattner at MGH, reputed to be one of the most

experienced in this area.

Still deciding with whom to work, so any Boson area ideas welcome.

I had a heller myotomy performed by Dr. Ratther at MGH in Jun 2008 and was very

satisfied.

Good luck.

I'd highly recommend MA general, had a very successful Laperscopic Heller with

Dr Hutter. You can tell him I recommended him, I' sure he will remember

me. Here is his link:

http://www.massgeneral.org/digestive/doctors/doctor.aspx?ID=17062

I didn't discover this site until after my surgery; base upon the info on this

site I would have gone to Dr. Ratner at the time. I guess thats a good thing

because I had had such great success with Dr. Hutter. I think Hutter and

Ratner work togather; it would be interesting to know how many surgeries each

have done.

I live in the BOS area, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any

questions.

BTW, a link to my history an be found on this site at Files -> Member Stories

and History -> s Achelasia Story. The direct link is below:
