Re: Need a recommendation please

[Guest guest]

Hi -

I live in SoCal too and will also be interested to hear about god doctors in LA

or San Diego.

I have no personal experience with them but the website for the Gastroenterology

Department at UCLA seems to have a couple of specialists on staff. UCLA did the

manometry that diagnosed me 20 years ago.

everyone for the great input, so helpful to those of us new to this disease. I

need help finding a gastroenterologist in Los Angeles who is well familiar and

has experince traeting achalasia patients. Anyone have any recommendations?

Anyone on here from LA? Would love to talk with you. One would think there would

be a specialist here, but after seeing three gastro doctors and getting the

diagnosis wrong, I really need to find a doctor who can follow up with me since

I had the HM in April. Thanks thanks thanks!!!

My surgeon, Dr. Fuller was awesome. He did my VATS HM. He has

an office near Cedar's Sinai hospital in L.A.. His office would

probably recommend a gastroenterologist in L.A. since that is where he

works.

Hi, ,

Yes, I have recommendations in Los Angeles: Dr. Steve DeMeester at the

University of Southern California [surgeon who has much experience with

achalasia] and Dr. Kline also at the University of Southern

California [gastroenterologist who performed my pneumatic dilatation

four years ago].

Please feel free to write me if you'd like to set up a time to talk.

Warm regards,

Love in San Diego

Hi ,

I am in the LA Area but am not currently seeing a gastro for follow up. I had

by surgery at UCLA, but my surgeon has since left there so I am temporarily

winging it. If I remember correctly you had surgery at USC. They should be

following up with you for a while and then prehaps they can refer you on to

someone.

What part of LA are you in? I'm in the South Bay area.

Best,

Lynn
