Pancreatic Endoscopists & Pancreatic Surgeons

Angie,

You wrote, " If the docs here want to do more surgery I would rather go to

Indiana to Dr.

Lehman and let him remove my pancreas! Isn't he in Indiana? "

Dr. Lehman is a pancreatologist, gastroenterologist, and endoscopist, but he

is not a surgeon. Dr. Lehman refers his patients to Dr. , also

at IU, who is a pancreatic surgeon. He is well qualified, skilled, has an

excellent bedside manner, believes in pain medication, but also supports

integration of alternative therapies, as well as the significant role of prayer

in

the healing process.

At MUSC, Dr. Petter Cotton is a pancreatologist, gastroenterologist, and

endoscopist. Dr. is a pancreatic surgeon.

I think both of these facilities provide excellent services.

Karyn,

Thanks for the info. I thought Dr. Lehman was a surgeon. Thanks for clearing

that up for me. Dr. Adam's just did my surgery almost 2 months ago. I dearly

love him, he is a wonderful doctor and also has a great bedside manner.

Thanks again!

Angie in SC
