I posted this question to a celiac listserv this summer and these GIs were recommended: Dr. John Polio in Hartford (three people highly recommended him), Dr. Sapounas (described as "awesome"),

Dr. Donna Cipolla in Wethersfield and Manchester, 643-3054 ("One of the most

competent on celiac I know of") and Dr. Ted Loewenethal (he was recommended by a woman who is both a doctor herself and a celiac patient. She said he is very competent, compassionate, and takes time to listen to his patients.) I had a very negative experience with a GI in Hartford and plan to switch to one of those who were recommended to me. Best of luck!

I am from the milford area, but my GI doc's main office is in Hamden. Gastoenterology Center of CT. Her name is Dr Latha Aliparthi. It's quite a large practice, but she was recommended to me for my original problem of GERD/gastritis. She found the Celiac by accident! This was probably my problem for a long time! She has done my Endoscopys, etc. She is very knowlegable/thurough and great bedside manner. You do not feel rushed. The initial visit interview is done by her physicaian assistant Sheila, but then the 2 of them will review your case, in front of you and spend the time to entertain your questions. Being emplyed in the medical field myself, it was nice to deal with a doc and PA who were willing to spend the time with you. I don't know if you are near Hamden, but it's another option. Good Luck!

I'm looking for a doctor in central CT that is good for Celiac issues. I saw the posts from Liz in CT and gooddawg315 in September 2006, and those sound like great suggestions:

However, I'm trying to help a family member who is very hesitant about seeing doctors, and I'd like to get some more information that could help convince him to see one of them. Does anyone have any more information about a good doctor in central CT? Some sorts of things that might be helpful are:

• --Types of things the doctor recommended
  --Success stories, improvements in health, etc.
  --More about bedside manner, etc.
  

I'd be very grateful for any information you can provide.
