This type of information IS allowed; I just do not have any to give. Hopefully, someone else will.

Search for the website for the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons

Click on "Find a Surgeon"
Enter your city and state

If your Dr Geller is a board certified colorectal surgeon then at least you know this doctor is specialized in this field. If Dr. Geller is not board certified in colorectal surgery, perhaps you could find a doctor off this website and get your mother an appointment for a second opinion.

Hope this helps.

thank you been there done that he is known in many areas with alot of experience and belongs to several organizations on innovative techniques regard the live and liver cancers. you can type in DR Geller and actually get info straight about his works -I was more interested in the compassionate side for my moms sake- personality helps- but if theyre good its not a priority- but he seems to be qualified for intelligence and a caring approach-were pleased so far. thanx again

Sheila,

So agree with you on the caring approach - I picked my specialist because he is just a peach - and I went up to Michigan for second opinions, plus another surgeon when I was admitted to the ER.

I just love my Doctor, he truly does care and keep sup with all the latest stuff on cancer too.

Cheers and good luck

I'm also on another board. I know of one person on that board loves him.

You may want to do a google search and I'm sure his name will come up. You can also try under blogs.

So that this one stays on, I'll post on the next e-mail what the other board is.

If you go to http://www.cancercompass.com/ and head to the message boards, you'll find that someone has seen him and highly recommends him.

This site is headed by the cancer treatment centers of america, although almost all of us the site have never been there.
