Children's Medical Center In Dallas

[ashlee's mom]

Hi, my daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease in March and since then we have moved from Oregon to Texas. I was finally able to find a Ped GI and get an appointment scheduled for her with Dr. Anderson at the Children's Medical Center in Dallas. Has anyone been there or specifically seen Dr. Anderson? This will be the first follow up appointment we have been able to do with her.

Thanks,

Michelle

Children's Medical Center in Dallas is suppose to be good. My sister works at Cook Children's in Fort Worth which I know is really good. There is a good celiac disease support group in the area. I have never been, but they meet at one of the hospitals in Dallas every month.

Dallas is also where Dr. Kenneth Fine lives who has Celiac himself and runs enterolabs. If that helps at all.

Michelle, I would stay away from Dr. Anderson. He has been seeing my son, and now he is in Foster care! My son was not following his diet, as a result was getting sick. Of course everyone blamed us, the parents, because he had been in the hospital twice in a 3 month period. Never mind the fact that he went almost 4 years without a hospitalization. In that 4 year period, he did not have any central lines, or get any TPN, or Total Parental Nutrition, which he said was necessary for his survival, just following his diet to the best of our ability.

As soon as he got hospitalized in February, they put a central line back in, and he has now been back in the hospital 5 times for infections or illness, 3 of those times while in the care of the foster parents. We are having another hearing October 10, trying to find some way to get our son back. No one believes that this doctor has lied about us, or that he might actually not know what he's talking about!

I'm sorry, you got me on a rampage, but please, steer clear of Dr. Anderson!
