looking for Bariatric Surgery informed Endocrinologist and Hematologist in Raleigh area
Can anyone here recommend an Endocrinologist and/or Hematologist (for iron infusion) in the Raleigh area?
I'm hoping to find doctors that are well-informed about weight-loss surgery patients and their special requirements.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tabitha,
I'm not sure the extent of their experience and knowledge of WLS patients. I have hemochromatosis and therefore work with a hematologist. When I was originally considering surgery, my hematologist mentioned that she has a number of WLS patients that require infusions, but that for me the bypass might prove to help my condition. At any rate, she is a warm, knowledgeable, competent Dr. Her name is Dr. Maha ElKordy and she has offices in Raleigh and Cary.
I hope this helps.
