Or, more specifically, somewhere dedicated to treating children with Chrons/UC?
Are there any doctors recognized as the best in IBD?

It's usually the major medical schools in the U.S. that have IBD treatment centers, including gastroenterologists who subspecialize in pediatric IBD. Where are you located? I know that NEastern U.S., Chicago area, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have these facilities, and University of Miami in FL probably does, too. You can check the Physician Finder section on ccfa.org Website for listings by state, which are mainly private practices. / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

I was diagnosed at U of M Ann Arbor and I really liked some of the doctors. Of course my favorite moved to Ohio. He was really awesome. So if that's where you are, look up Dr. Emory Colins. I think he's pretty open about other treatments if you tell him you want to try them too.
