Any recommendations for a SE area hematologist?
I was wondering if anyone had a hematologist in the tri-county area that has a good understanding of malabsorption in WLS patients? I went to see a hema on Friday since my iron is low (he acknowledged that I am anemic) but he won't give me infustions. He said that I haven't been taking enough iron (I was taking two Proferrin ES daily) and he told me to switch to 3 ferrous sulfate daily. I'm reluctant to have to wait until December to prove to him that ferrous sulfate won't do me any good. So I am hoping that someone here has had positive results with another doc.
Thanks

I have seen a couple in the area. Dr. Kadakol is who I have seen most recently. I was seeing her out of the macomb physician's group (16 and van dyke). I think she also has an office in Rochester. I also saw Dr. Nayak, whose office is on 14 1/2 and Van Dyke. Dr. Nayak gave me iron infusions in the office, Dr. Kadakol had to send me to Beaumont. I like both of them. For some reason the infusions that Dr. Kadakol prescribed for me were significantly more expensive, but I'm sure that varies from insurance to insurance.
