Dr at Fox Chase?

Thinking of going to Fox Chase for a 2nd opinion and was hoping someone knew of a great doc to call over there.

Thank you,
Eric

Dr. Lori Goldberg at Fox Chase and Dr. Kevin Fox at the University of Pennsylvania - both top of the heap!

I second the vote for Dr. Kevin Fox at UPENN. I saw him for a 2nd opinion. I thought he was very forthright in his assessment. I don't have any experience with Fox Chase but have been told by others that they were not happy due to the fact that they were rotated between different doctors.

Good luck!
