Based on your personal and professional knowledge, I'd like

opinions on which surgeons, transplant programs or medical

facilities are well known and experienced in pancreatic surgery and

Islet cell transplants.

Hi Doc:

I had my surgery done by Dr. Sutherland who I and many others consider

the best for this type of surgery. Dr. Sutherland had been doing the TP/ICT

since the 1970s. He pioneered the surgery. He is a great doctor and very kind

and knowledgeable. He is so down to earth. You can call him or e-mail him

and he will be glad to speak with you any time. He works out of the

Fairview-University Medical Center in Minn. MN. Many people that I know have

had the TP

done for them by Dr. Sutherland. He is the only doctor I would

recommend for this surgery. I will give you some information on him. Shirley
