Hi Kathy..im from erie pa also. I had dr shen in Cleveland clinic but he did go to NYC. I am now seeing dr jessica Philpott. She's very kind..no dr shen though. She has me starting another biologic. First it was entyvio 2 yrs quit working now she's starting me this Thursday on stelara. 34 yrs with j pouch. I'll give one more try if it doesn't improve these bad awful painful symptoms ill have the surgery to remove j pouch. My opinion..no doctor on erie..stay far away..not knowledgeable at all about pouchers!
Best wishes. Loving our beautiful fall weather this week too in Erie!
