Robbie,

I posted on your other message but wanted to respond to you here as well since you specifically asked about Milwaukee. I live in California and we went to Milwaukee to have Michelle treated by Dr. Margolis (lived in the Ronald McDonald House) and we would do it again if we had to...so that tells you what we think of him and his program.

He is happy to consult with other dr's so that is an option to get his expertise without having to change cities. One thing I have found with him is he doesn't want to step on other dr's toes, so it works best if your primary dr is open to outside help. Sadly, that's not always the case.

Why did we go to Milwaukee, specifically because we wanted the dr who had the most experience with pediatric AA BMT's and that's him. On tp of that is a wonderful person and dr, tells you upfront how it is, asks you what you think and takes your opinion and what the child says into the mix, and comes up with the best plan for the specific child.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions,
Suzanne
