Nissen Re-Do in Chicago area - need new surgeon

My appointment with my surgeon that did my NF in September didn't go well. He is insisting on another ph monitor, endoscopy - even though a recent CT clearly shows a large hiatal hernia and fundus in my chest. I really need to find a new surgeon that will do the re-do properly and accept it was done wrong the first time.

The morning after surgery, I remember Dr. Soper telling me he almost had to open me, the hiatal hernia was so big. I brought that up the other day and he acknowledged it but didn't want to discuss what might have gone wrong. He said he would have to open me for a redo.

The surgeon that Bill typically talks about at Loyola is no longer in Chicago - he moved to Boston. Does anyone else have a suggestion?

Thanks Craig - I was looking at that group online. Libertyville is a heck of a lot closer than the University hospitals in the city. I found another surgeon in the Advocate network at Condell that sounds good online - Dr. Scott Otto with Surgeons of Lake County. His bio says he specializes in hiatal hernias, and that is exactly my problem. I know I'm going to need some mesh for the redo.

btw - I live in Cary

Mine was a twisted stomach hiatus hernia. I would get a bolus stuck and it always led to nothing good.
