Dr. Paul Korc and Dr. Nguyen do the EUS/ERCP there and they are excellent! They are in the GI department. They are both good and when I was first diagnosed with cancer in 2022 I got in the following week for the procedure. I changed from Providence to Hoag when we moved to Huntington Beach a few years ago. I might see Dr. Seery in their pancreatic/liver dept. She works with another dr in that dept. but I haven’t seen them. Thank you for your compliments and keep in mind we are all in this battle together.

Hi, I wanted to update you that Hoag contacted me today to set up an appointment with Dr Kankotia in their GI department. He seems to have a lot of experience in the exact areas that seem concerning in my reports and the use of technology/procedures. I'll talk with him Tuesday morning and in the interim will need to run around to see if I can get a CD of the MRCP imaging along with a summary of other imaging and testing I've had done that evaluated duct sizes and serum abnormalities. Without your recommendation I'm not sure I would have immediately contacted them. I was a little passive about it by using their inquiry form where I summarized my situation. And I was so surprised they called so fast (just sent inquiry yesterday) and got me in within a week. So I want to thank you in advance. I've never gotten an appointment with a specialist that fast. I'm already impressed lol

I have contacted hoag today and am waiting a response. I also contacted my PCP about the delay. I’ll let you know how this goes
