My Liver Team

Liver Transplantation is a team effort and not for the faint of heart. A successful outcome depends upon more than one Doctor, in fact it's a team effort and YOU are the "Quarterback" of the team. There are interventional Radiologists, Surgeons, Gasto-intestinal, Hematologists and  those that specialize in Liver Surgery, This List is by no means all inclusive as Thomas Jefferson University is a teaching Hospital and it's not uncommon for multiple Doctors in various levels in the education to examine you or ask questions. One of the joys for me was meeting all the future Doctors in various stages of their fledging career.
