Re: Patty D and Joann-Jewsih hospital/midwest gastro

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I think Dr. is very nice. When I was in the hospital and had an extended

stay he came in to see me. He sat on the bed and talked to me and answered all

my questions. He was sympathetic and compassionate to my feelings re: this

devastating diagnosis of CP. He didn't just walk in and walk out like most docs.

Both he and Dr. Kaikaus are excellent docs.

Are you sure that your husband doesn't have a consult first with Dr. ? Who

has he been seeing prior to having this procedure?

Patty D.

Patty D and Joann-Jewsih hospital/midwest gastro

Hey ladies. My husband, , was just refered to midwest gastro

for ERCP w/ manometry at Jewish hospital. They want to cut the

sphincter....as they have ruled out almost all other possible causes

for his reoccuring AP.

He is seeind a Dr. Whitney ...any experience with him?

His surgery is December the 15th and I am scared for him. We've not

even met this doctor, and we don't get an appointment first.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

> Nope...just got scheduled over the phone for the procedure. No

info at all. I'm glad to here that you like him, though. He has

been seeing Dr. Kaplan, who does not do this procedure. They ruled

out many other things, and this is his first ERCP. We are nervous.
