I used to live near there but its been years.  I dont know any of the doctors there now.  Sorry.
If you are looking at the area consider massachusetts which is close anyway . Nxstage is in mass.  They could help you find a good nephro if you call Nxstage/
In NH.  - Manchester would be the best place to look or Dartmouth -Hitchcock in Hanover which is where Dartmouth colleg and med school are.

Thanks,I know. I had my transplant at Dartmouth-Hitchcock and I dialyzed there for years before,also had my hips replaced there too. I also dialyzed in Fitchburg,Mass. for many years before moving to Florida.Now I'm in a wheelchair and totally dependent for help,for which I have none. The only family I have is in Peterborough,halfway between Nashua and Keene,and I don't even know if they are willing to help me but I have no other choice except for a nursing home and I want to avoid know sthat if possible. Thanks for your response anyway.At least I know someone is reading my posts. Thanks again.

Happy, just across the border in Lawrence, MA - Dr. Eduardo Haddad is excellent.

I like him, and I generally don't care for doctors.

I just remembered I have an old friend from my youth who is a nephrologist in Worcester Mass.  at Umass. medical center. His name is Dr. Howard Alfred.
