TAJ..you live in Erie PA now? I live near by. I've had my j pouch since 1989. I too am saddened by Dr Shen leaving. I recently saw Dr Philpott. Definitely not a Dr Shen. But not sure what or who else to see. I am on entyvio infusions now do I need to continue with my care at CCF. Plus my husband & I both now are cancer patients so don't think s trip into NYC especially now with covi19! Crazy mess. I truly miss Dr Shen. Dr Lavery too. He saved my life back in 1989. He retired also. So the Dr that took his patients too & again.. nowhere near a Dr Lavery. I wish everyone the best to finding a new Dr or getting in to see Dr shen! Stay healthy
