Wade is on his second doctor, and he is amazing! I found out about him from an aquaintace who had a transplant 12 years ago. He is so smart, and cares so much about us, and has given us so much help!
His name is Todd Gehr and he is based out of MCV here in Richmond, VA. He is such a "hot s**t" doctor, but he has been amazing. We are so lucky to have him here.
"Todd Gehr

I am glad Wade has a good doctor!
It has been said (and this could apply to doctor's too IMHO) -- You may have to kiss a lot frogs before you find your prince!
We survived a lot of frogs, but luckily Jenna finally got some really good care!

I had my first transplant at MCV, and though I'm sure things have changed greatly in 25 years, I have no doubt you're in good hands. Dr. Lee was my surgeon, and I think my neph's name was Dr. Mendez. They're probably both long since retired by now.
