I was just diagnosed with CLL last year. I am 43 now. Does anyone know of a doctor who specializes in CLL in Florida?

I'm in central Florida. Orlando is the closest major city to me. But I would go wherever to find a doctor who specializes in CLL. I appreciate any information you can share.

Moffitt Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr Pinella. He’s in Tampa.

Also Dr Khan at the Mayo in Jacksonville. He’s awesome too and fairly close. I don’t know your insurance situation.

I could not agree more. The research doctors at Mayo are the best in the world in my opinion. They accept my Medicare.

Both the CLL Society and the LLS have lists with proinent, tested CLL hematologists. Plenty o them in your state, but since I am not amiliar where Dale is, cannot help you any more.

I have never seen a printed LLS list, though I have often called about referrals for others. The CLLsociety.org list includes links to the ACOR list and Dr. Sharman's list. His is somewhat dated - some doctors have moved. The other two are patient recommended lists.
