Re: What is the best Pancreas Clinic to

[Guest guest]

Just thought I'd put my 2 cents worth in since Louie had mentioned me. I'm

returning again to Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday, but basically to sever ties

with them. I have not had a good outcome with them and actually being

admitted there is the worst experience I have ever had and I have been to

quite a few hospitals. If you would end up going there I would suggest

seeing Dr. Dumot if at all possible. I see doctor Conwell, but Dr. Dumot is

the one that did my ERCP and seems to care the most. The hospital operator

wouldn't let me call his office when I was admitted and kept telling me the

nurse had to call. So I had my husband call Dr. Dumot's office from home and

even though he was at another office the nurse emailed him and he called my

room within half an hour of my husband calling. He seems to really care and

I think he has a good understanding of all this. I will let you know how

tomorrow goes, but I think I'd have to agree with Louie and tell you to give

Mayo a try. I have set my sites on Dr. Sutherland now in hopes that he can

help me, but if you are still in the diagnoses department the Mayo Clinic

might be your best bet.

Hi ,

I would waste your time of money on Cleveland Clinic. I'm at end -stage Chronic

pancreatitis and the only thing they could offer me was a procedure that they

thought might help, but I have already been told it would not work because of

the perversions failed nerve blocks, So I felt like I made a wasted trip. They

might be better with someone just starting out with acute pancreatitis. You

could ask Jenise how her luck with her ERCP turn out at Cleveland Clinic that

she had done there recently. She might have had better luck than I did. This

has been my 3 experience with Cleveland Clinic with 2 other things wrong and I

did not get any help with anything I have been there for in the past either. I

do know for fact that they do have a good heart center.

But the pancreatic Center wasn't impressive for the amount of time you had to

wait to get into them. If I were you I would try Mayo Before I would try

Cleveland Clinic. This is just my opinion.

What is the best Pancreas Clinic

I am trying to research where the best place would be for my sister

to go to for her problem with recurrent acute pancreatitis. After

several ERCPs, cat scans, and a Sphincter of Oddi test nothing can

be found that is causing this. I have heard the doctors at Indiana

University are good, but are they only good if you havent had these

tests done before. Where would be a good place to go. We are in

Michigan and her dr. is thinking about Mayo or the Cleveland Clinic.

I am just looking around for opinions I guess.

Thanks...
