@njd posted:For folks at Cleveland Clinic, I highly recommend Benjamin Cohen. I have seen him for my pouch (and chronic pouchitis, frequent obstructions, the works) for about a decade now at Mount Sinai in NYC, but he very recently left there for Cleveland Clinic (possibly hasn't even started yet, with COVID-19 delaying pretty much everything in life). But once he is seeing patients, I strongly urge you to give him a shot. I found him to be excellent -it took me over a decade to find a gastroenterologist in NYC that really specialized in and understands pouches. I will miss him a lot.
interesting, I wonder if Cleveland Clinic recruited him due to Shen leaving. Can he do a lot of things that Shen did? , as the current GI's there just seem to know about pouch issues but are not passionate about it like Shen and don't seem to have the capabilities that Shen did. I did see Dr Philpott a few months back and she seemed ok but like I said if anything out the ordinary pops up I don't believe any of the GI's there are capable.. I could be wrong but just my opinion. I was with Shen for 12 years
