Karen...go to uoaa.org
you will find groups listed there. I see there is a group in
Louisville, with a contact name...ask them for the name of a colon
surgeon in that area....
Good luck!

You might try contacting the colorectal dept. of the Cleveland Clinic asking
if they have a recommendation. It's possible that a CR surgeon in your area
did his/her residency at the CC. If that's the case, I'd feel very
comfortable with that surgeon. CC saved my life twice from Crohn's and a
resulting tumor and I couldn't be more grateful. You can contact the CC CR
Dept. as follows:

Dept. of Colorectal Surgery
Cleveland Clinic
800/223-2273 X46672
216/445-8627 (FAX)
Mail: The Cleveland Clinic
9500 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44195

Sorry but I can't find an email address.

Hope this gets you started in finding a good surgeon in your area.

All the best.
