Here’s few pointers to help you address this challenge. First, leverage the fact that this question comes up frequently, so do a search of the web site which includes posts back to 2004. If you search for “best surgeon” in the title only, you’ll find posts like these:

Who is considered the most experienced ADR surgeon in the U.S.?

Best U.S. Spine Surgeon

But you can also search through posts using “Portland” and other terms. If you care to travel to other west cost states, if you are qualified for ADR, there are many other experienced arthroplasty surgeons, especially in California.

In 2004, when I first built the ADRSupport web site, I posted the names of surgeons who had at that time some experience and a track record with ADR. One of them from Oregon, Dr. Kitchell, is listed there (here’s their website). I actually do not know of his patient outcomes so I cannot speak to his expertise. That’s your job to find out!

Chris, in the meantime, are you seeing a good doc to take care of that tummy? A nutritionist or N.D. would be a smart next step…
