Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Anne: We've only seen Dr. Wolff for Leah. I will email you later this evening or if you want to email me privately and give me your phone number I will call you. But we have been happy with not only Dr.Wolff, but Sandy his assistant. I will ask my husband about what he thinks as he always comes on the appointments with me. Thank you. But we've been happy and if you can stay in the Mc house in Madison (which is only two blocks from the Waismann Center) you will be very pleased with the place. And if they don't have room for you, they put you up in a hotel that they have a contract with for the same price as the Mc house. Nerenhausen mom to Leah (we are only in town till Thursday morning and then it's back to Washington Island again for a few more weeks of vacation time, so I won't be checking my email as often on the Island and I would hate tomiss your email.

I just made an appt for my 2 boys there, given all the questions we have about the fatty acid studies and the Co Q levels. We have not been there for about 6 years, at which time our metabolic doctor Cary Harding left. We have such excellent care from our primary team. They call for help from Shoffner or Cohen whenever we had questions so it seemed like following with metabolics would not add anything to their care. However, with the questionable fatty acid diagnosis on top of the mito we feel like we need a bit more hands on guidance. The boys are on TPN and we're wondering if we need to completely change what is in there as far as the amino acids, etc. So we're going to try this guy out but travel is so very hard on Sam (it is 90 min from our house) that I am leery of going somewhere that will not be helpful. Also do you guys know of anyone in Chicago that is good with metabolics/mito? Anne Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.
