Hi, I am new to this group but hope you could please help me in getting a copy of this list of Dr's. please. I am urgently needing a Dr for this and willing to travel anywhere in the country as I need to get help so that I can work at my very physical job. I am off on medical leave now for a related situation that was a result of having this redundant colon so now is the time I have to take care of this ASAP as when working it is hard to get off & wouldn't be able to go through all the prep needed for procedures. I'm trying to find a regular Dr to help in general with my symptoms & also trying to find a Dr who has experience successfully able to complete a colonoscopy with someone with redundant colon (this 2nd Dr is the most urgent I'm trying to schedule). I hope that you will be willing to share the list to me ASAP as it is so very important. I can give you my email or whatever is best so that I could please get a copy. Would really appreciate this as this is the most urgent reason I was looking at this forum. But didn't know about this group until now or would have been on here a couple years ago had I known about it. Thanks so much! Also if anyone else has any info on any Dr's they have had good experience with or that who can complete this procedure successfully without harm, please also contact me. Thank you

Hi @tglaura, if you would like to consider Mayo Clinic, you can request an appointment here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Hi TgLaura,

My gastro doctor is Dr. Asma Khapra in Fairfax, VA. Dulles In'tl Airport is close by. She spent 3X the normal 20 mins for my colonoscopy and said I had did not clear out and had a severely redundant colon. I like her and she specializes in IBD and women's digestive issues. She is listed on Castle and Connolly (they research the docs before listing) and teaches a bit at a local university hospital (I think). It has been hard to get an appt with her, but maybe not now. Note there would be an initial virtual/in person appt and then the colonoscopy would be scheduled.
