Hi, @carroljeffries,
A doctor who treats liver cirrhosis is a Hepatologist or Liver Specialist. Many patients, like myself, have gone thru a progression of doctors/specialists from Primary Care to Gastroenterologist to Hepatologist. As for myself, I was always pleased with the next level of specialty care that I was referred to by the 'at that time' current provider.

It sounds like you have an upcoming appointment. Is that correct?
In preparation for your appointment, I would like to share this link aboutCirrhosis - Diagnosis , tests, treatment, etc. I especially suggest that you view the -Cirrhosis FAQs by Transplant hepatologist Sumera Ilyas, M.B.B.S. answers the most frequently asked questions about cirrhosis.

@rosemarya thank you for the information.
I have an appt with the dietician on Jan 20, a phone appt checkin with the Clinical Pharmacist/Hepatology on Jan 21, and an appt on May 29 with the Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP-C, CNP).

I'm hoping to talk with my Gastroenterologist in the next week about some other test results. I want to ask him some questions about my liver cirrhosis treatment.
