Please go to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. It’s the Only place to trust. I got my liver there. Orlando hospitals told me to go home and call hospice. They said no one would give me a liver. It’s unbelievable how badly I was treated at Advent Heath.
Mayo is the absolute best! Going on 8 years post-transplant.

Congratulations on 8 years! I am so happy for you. What an awful experience at Orlando. Can I ask why they would not give you a liver?

Hi

That is nasty.
I live in Florida and my transplant was done at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. Virginia. I used to live in Virginia and moved to Florida a couple of years ago. The transplant was done almost 4 and a half years ago.
I go there every year for my annual discussion with the hepatologist and the kidney specialist. I wanted to transfer my care to a hospital locally and only one hospital was willing to talk to me. That was the University of Florida in Gainesville. I did go there two years ago and they said they will work out a comprehensive plan. Today is the 20th of June 2023. Thus far no one had called. So I am sticking to the Hospital in Virginia.
