Unfortunately, I have left the best medical people in Nj and moved to Sarasota in hope of better life. I love everything about the area except the Doctors. They are nowhere near the professionals I had in Nj. I can't afford to fly in every 6 weeks but it's sure looking like it. I mentioned to one doctor here I get my stricture stretched every six weeks, he almost had a heart attack, wants me to go to SurgiCare center for it. Please anybody use a colon rectal doctor in area that is good and knowledgeable with Crohn's

I know how you feel. Moved here from upstate NY, all my docs were in NYC. I just started see Dr. Khazanchi of Florida Digestive Health. He seems to know Jpouch’s. I’ve had mine for a long time. So hate to resort to GI telling what to do. He seems to want to help. Very busy with lots of locations but if you have a Jpouch, I think you get a little more attention. Make sure you mention it. Dr. Khazanchi is in Castle Connoly. How are you doing? I live on Pepto.
I realize that it's a long distance for you, but the Cleveland Clinic is located in Weston, Florida, near West Palm Beach. My colo-rectal surgeon there is Juan Nogueras, M.D. He has been in practice for 20+ years. He's quite renown. You can Google him...

If you are willing to drive to Orlando, Dr. John Monson saved my life. I trust him 100% and he's a great doc. Best of luck.
