Hi Berneses,

I am from Massachusetts and am looking into GI doctors in the Boston area. Would you mind sharing any doctor's names you know of who may specialize in celiac disease?

Thanks,

I just made an appt with Catherine Chesney at Beth Israel Celiac Center but it's not until January 18th!!!!!! I'm going to see if I can find someone to take me sooner but in the meantime here'sthe link to their site:

I'm also looking for a GI doc in Boston because my PCP is clueless (too bad I need a PCP for referrals). My old doc Dr. G. Levine at Dartmouth (GREAT doctor by the way) reccommended Ciaran Kelly (617-667-1272) at Beth Israel and said he was the best in the city. He's got a 2 month wait though. I guess there's a Celiac Center at BI so there are several doc there that specialize.

If there are any people from NH or VT that don't mind a drive up to DHMC in Lebanon, Dr. Levine is great. I highly recommend him.

Meanwhile my PCP here refuses to research Celiacs, she has no idea why my liver enzymes are elevated....hello!!! Going in for a CT scan on Monday to check the size of my liver. She's thinking Hepatitis or fatty liver disease, I know it's just because I'm bad on my diet.

Anyway, good luck to all! I'm happy to see other Bostonians or transplants on here : )

Hey Steph- That's good to know. Boston is closer to me (I'm in Portsmouth, NH) but Dartmouth isn't so far and I wouldn't mind driving up there if I could see someone sooner. My PCP in portsmouth, Dr. Marni Nicholas, is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to Celiac's and everything else! I HIGHLY recommend her (although the GI she sent me to- Dr. Damianos in Portsmouth wasn't so hot).

Maybe I'll call and see if I can get in with Dr. Levine or Dr. Kelly sooner. I've been having a lot of problems lately.

AVOID at ALL Costs: Dr. Stephen Rubin and Dr. John Gandolfo. They are both associated with North Shore Medical Center, have no clue and dropped me like a hot potato when they couldn't figure out what was "wrong" with me. Both claimed it was stress. Ugh!

The only two I have heard of are Dr. Chesney and Dr. Kelly at Beth Israel (which has a celiac center). I haven't seen either- I have an appointment with Dr. Chesney in January.
