Doctors think I have uterine cancer: How to find a specialist?

Hello Val,
Would you feel comfortable sharing the name of the doc/surgeon that your neighbor recommended? And the hospitals to which you referred?

I also live in the Philly area. Currently, I am awaiting results of an endometrial biopsy.

Thanks very much and good luck to you on your journey!

Unfortunately he seems to be gone: no longer on hospital website. Internet doesn't say where he went. Dr. Scott Richard; he was at Jefferson.

I'd rather not specify the other hospital. If your biopsy comes back showing a problem, I'd first get a recommendation from your gyn for where to go next. During the course of this experience, I have visited Fox Chase, Jefferson and Penn Medicine. If I were starting again now without a recommendation for a doctor, I would probably call all three and go to the one that would see me fastest.
