I need to get a BCIR done. I do not want a J-Pouch or a bag.
I am in San Diego. Does anyone know a Dr. that does these surgeries on the west coast.
I saw a Dr. Kaiser in LA, but he won't do it because I am not cancer-free.
thanks
Joel

Hi Joe,
I do not, however, I found great doctor recommendations from local chapters of the ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s foundation support groups. They should be on Facebook and / or you can contact the foundation. Good luck!
Thanks. Joel
Yes, there is an excellent K-pouch surgeon in San Diego! I've had several revisions in the last 43 years and all done with Dr. Jonathan Worsey at Scripps Clinic , La Jollla. My first revision was with Dr. Launer, now deceased, and his partner Dr. Worsey, who also worked at the Cleveland Clinic with K-pouches, etc. Wishing you well!
