Subject: [ ] New Doc Needed - Santa Cruz County

Hi –

Can anyone suggest a new Gastroenterologist in the Santa Cruz area? My doctor had gotten in a car accident (I don’t even know her condition) and her practice closed the next day which happened to be the day I had an appt. Anyway, I tried to get in with Nguyen, but after waiting 3 weeks for her to get back from vacation she denied taking me on as a new patient. I’m a diagnosed Celiac and am looking for someone to go to for “maintenance” etc. I’d prefer a female doctor, but I’m not opposed to a male. Thanks in advance for any advice!

,I see Dr. Zen Majuk. His offices are located in the Dominican complex. He has a very good bed side manner, but I have a hard time recommending him. He is very knowledgeable on the other gastro issues I see him for, but I'm not so sure he completely gets the celiac thing...I also have a very difficult time getting a hold of him when I desperately need too. That being said, he has very good reviews, lectures at Stanford and is a very nice man. He was the doctor that figured out I had Celiac when know one else had any idea what was going on. Hope that helps!ChristianFrom: Wallace <AWallace@...>Subject:
