Surgeons in VT or NH or Boston?

LisaY35Member

Hi everyone,
I have UC and have been unable to get it into remission for the past 2 years. At this point, I am considering surgery. I have met with Dr. Cataldo here in Burlington, but am also considering meeting with other surgeons. Dr. Holubar is a possibility and there are several in Boston I was recommended - Dr. Bleday, Dr. Shellito. Wondering if anyone had their procedures done by these drs and have feedback to share.

Thanks so much!

In Boston, the top three from what I hear are Dr. Bleday at Brigham & Women, Dr. Mouschensen (Sp?) at Beth Israel and Dr. Becker at Mass General and Newton-Wellesley.

Dr. Becker was my surgeon and I had my surgery at Newton-Wellesley hospital and would highly recommend both.

Thanks, Jeff. I was given Dr. Bleday's name as well. Problem O am having is that my insurance won't cover a lot of the cost in Boston as it considered out of network. I haven't fought it with them yet as I am not sure I want to be 4 hours away from my family and 4 hours away if there are any problems.

Lisa,
My surgeon was Mowschenson at BI in Boston. I recommend him if you decide to go to Boston.

Hi,

I just completed my takedown surgery on Tuesday at BIDMC. I had Dr. Poylin and it was a wonderful experience. I think his group did a great job.
