Doctors

I would like to tell people interested in my disease where I have decided to seek treatment.
I see two different doctors.
The first is Dr. Lauren Pintor-Brown.  She is a Lymphoma specialist and works at UCLA.  She seems to always have a fellow with her.  She is very old fashion. Likes to do her medical records by hand instead of using te computer.  I like her alot.  She is very patient and knows how to listen well.  She treats me as if I am her only patient and eems to be on top of things.  She has a very busy practice.  I don't think she ever turns away a patient just because she is so good hearted.
My other doctor is Dr. Michael Keating, professor of Medicine at MD Anderson in Houston Texas.  
Dr. Keating is special because he not only sees patients and heads up a global organization, CLL Global Research Foundation.  Disease has no boundries.  Dr. Keating is founder of CLLGlobal Reasearch Foundation.  This foundation is global and is dedicated to the development of curative CLL therapies.  Be sure to check out the website to read about it.  WWW.CLLGLOBAL.ORG.
I hope that I am covered with my medical care since I have a lymphoma specialist and a leukemia specialist.  These two docs seem to be the top of the crop.  I am hoping that they know exactly what they are doing and will offer me the highest quality care.
