I have found out that it is best, if possible, to go to a doctor that teaches as well as seeing patients. My first hematologist worked mostly with oncology patients and didn't really know the nitty gritty of working with the cyclosporine.

I was getting good care, but now I go to a professor of hematology at the local medical school as well as Dr. Maciejewski at the Cleveland Clinic. They have really helped with working with the meds.
