Northern California Doctors

Hi, I'm new to the site and am looking for suggestions regarding doctors in Northern California (Sacramento area preferably, or San Francisco Bay area). I searched the archives and the only name I saw come up was Jeffrey Aron in San Francisco. So, he is on my list as a possibility. Has anyone else had (or heard of) a good experience with a doc in this region? I'm at the beginning of the process, suspicious of a few symptoms, and want to work with someone who, from the beginning, will take seriously the possibility that they might add up to celiac disease. I also would like it to be someone who has guided others through the testing in a reasonable way. Thanks for any thoughts!

I am assuming it is a family practitioner that you are looking for? My daughter sees a pediatic GI specialist named Dr. Yinka Davies. She has an office in Sacramento and Roseville with Sutter Medical Group. I am sure she could get you in touch with a family Dr. that is also familiar with testing. She has gotten us in touch with a few families that also have been recently diagnosed, and I know she attended a conference in Washington last year on the subject. She seems to have a lot of insight and have a lot of contacts. Just an idea! Good luck!

You might want to get in touch with a local support group - I know there is one in Carmichael, maybe Sacramento too. I live in Chico - a little farther away than I'd want to drive for a support group so I haven't gone. But they might have recommendations...

Hello! I'm newly celiac diagnosed (3/05), have an AWESOME gastroenterologist here in Grass Valley...........Dr. Aslam Godil, phone (530) 273-3377. He's very thorough and a good listener. Good luck!

Good to know! I may check in with him. The one GI in Chico is a hard ass (from what I've heard) and doesn't believe anything is a problem with anyone unless they are dying. I have no desire to waste money on that. I also heard he is fairly insulting. Don't know firsthand but that's enough to make me not care to persue the elusive appointment with him...

Does anyone have personal experience with the celiac clinic at Stanford? I love my family practice doctor in San Francisco, but I think I need to talk with a specialist.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
