My GI retired and I want a better one that knows about UC and I also have a Jpouch. I live in Iowa, about 35 min west of Cedar Rapids and an hour from Iowa city. Any ideas?

usually your best bet is to go to a doctor that works with a university hospital, preferable one that has an ibd center
How far are you willing to travel cuz you are probably about 3.5 hours from chicago
I think there is a decent universtiy hospital in iowa city but not sure

I think I will give the university a chance in Iowa City.
