Looking For Knowledgeable Doctor?

[Lisa]

I received a call from a nice young lady looking for diagnostic help in the Raleigh/Durham area.

Any support links/contacts would be welcome.

Thanks, Lisa

My GI doc is in Raleigh and I've been pleased so far. I just went in with some weird abdominal pain up under my left rib cage and an ultrasound that showed fatty liver disease. He examined me and encouraged an endoscopy to see if he could find a cause for the pain, since a portion of the stomach juts over to the left or maybe referred pain. I don't think he was even considering Celiac at that time. He only saw three polyps but still did the biopsies routinely done, by him at least. He put me on Prilosec for reddened gastric lining and told me to come back in a month.

The biopsy came back with severe villanous atrophy and malabsorbtion pattern suggestive of celiac. He did a celiac panel because he didn't think I had it and it came back positive.

He is super nice and I feel like he is well imformed. He immediately scheduled a bone density scan and blood work to check my levels of all the fat soluble vitamins. I haven't been back to him again, but I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Parekh...don't be worried about understanding him. He was born and raised in the US and doesn't even have an accent.
