I have been off the past few days...just saw the request for

recommendations for so cal docs....and want to add my " me, too " to the

suggestion for Pockros of Scripps Green (in La Jolla). He is our

daughter's local gi/hep and is great. He's the GI/Hep division head

and medical director of liver transplantation at Green. Great bedside

manner, easy to contact, funny sense of humor, and just one big

walking brain. Love the guy. He stays up on the latest in psc news, is

in close contact with Lindor of Mayo (and heartily encouraged

and helped arrange for Libby to see Lindor after she was first

diagnosed 5 years ago.) Now that LIbby is living in Los Angeles for

school and needs a local doc there, Dr Pockros recommended she see

Tse-Ling Fong, who is USC's version of Pockros (head of liver

transplantation, etc.)This week, she finally got off her fanny to make

an appointment to see him (oh, getting 20-somethings to make their own

doctor appointments is like pulling teeth), so we can't make a

" Likeability " assessment yet....but Fong's credentials are stellar and

if Pockros likes him.....we like him.
