Comments: My nearly two year association with the Liver Center at Beth Israel Deaconess has been extremely beneficial. I have yet to meet Attending or Fellow there that has not been professional, caring and effective. Because the Liver Center is considered one of the top treatment centers in the country, they are constantly selected for clinical trials. You might be able to get the atest treatment free.

Comments: After seeing 2 doctors about my Genotype 1 Hepatitis, I was referred to Dr. Andrea Reid who made me feel very comfortable and aware that I could live somewhat of a normal life with caution, rest and good diet. I am one of the lucky ones with no current liver damage. My viral load is very high which gives me constant fatigue. She is very knowledgable and caring about this disease and came highly recommended. I am glad I switched.
