Contact Info for LA podiatrist/bleomycin

[Guest guest]

I've been flooded with requests for contact info for

the LA podiatrist who knocks out plantar warts with

bleomycin, so I'm posting the information.

One word of caution: a member I greatly

respect sent word to me that there is a lifetime limit

on the amount of bleomycin one can receive. Speak to

the doctor about that.

The podiatrist is:

Mark Weissman, D.P.M.

Suite 509

Midway Medical Plaza

5901 W. Olympic Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90036

Phone: 323-938-3338

Fax 323-938-9379

Dr. Weissman is a nice guy with a great bedside

manner. He is totally comfortable with HIV patients.

His office is in the same building that houses Dr.

Gottlieb, Dr. Musikanth and several other HIV docs.

The podiatrist using interferon is Dr. Liddy,

phone 310-652-2713. The interferon worked, but I was

unhappy with his bedside manner.

A dermatologist I highly recommend is

Dr. Han Lee

USC Assistant Professor of Clinical Dermatology

Director, USC Dermatologic Surgery and Cutaneous

Oncology

(323) 865-0983

hannlee@...

She sees patients in an office in Glendale, CA, which

is just north of Downtown LA. She accepts insurance.

Call the above number for more information. Email her

for specific questions about your wart problems. If

she can't help you, then she'll refer you to another

USC dermatologist who can.

Steer clear of Tower I.D.'s podiatrist Dr.

ph. He'll fit you for orthodics for any foot

problem, including warts.

Also, stay away from dermatologist Harvey Abrams.

Contact me off list for more information about him.
