Do you live near Savannah? I do too.
I went to MUSC for the blood vessel stricture. They are excellent. They opened up a blood vessel that was compressed by a ligament and later put a stent in it.
Yesterday, I actually went to Savannah to see a new GI doctor. I had another one there before, but I lost faith in her.
I like this doctor so far. Interested, asking and answering questions, discussed possibilities etc. In other words, like a perfect doctor. He also teaches Med students at Memorial Health.
For a Mayo appointment it’s probably easier if your primary can send a request with all your clinical information. They appear to be tight with appointment spots now so your doctor can present your problem best.
I also recommend MUSC, I wouldn’t hesitate to go there for anything. It has a very good reputation.
Let me know what you are doing- regarding a second opinion.

Hi, am so sorry I have not responded. Yes I live in Savannah. Have been so incredibly frustrated. I tried to get a referral for a specialist in Augusta, waited a month for call back, finally called them to find out they don't take my insurance and just a consultation,no testing was $400. So, I am just hit or miss with food these days. I have a follow up appointment with my regular Gastro MD ata the end of March maybe the meds aren't right, maybe dosage needs to be tweaked.. all I k now is I'm nauseated when I wake up and still (this has been since June) feel bloated, have pain towards upper abdomen and over to left side. I eat very lightly, green tea for breakfast (can't handle even the thought of food before 11), probiotic yogurt and chicken broth at lunch, nothing until maybe 4 ish( small protein bar or protein drink) then light dinner (fish is good, chicken is questionable, beef is no longer an option). Who did you see in Savannah?
